Maria

In a high school hallway in '72

I saw the grace of God when I looked at you

We made our promise in '75

And you became the biggest blessing of my life

For fifty years we've walked this road

Sharing the joy and bearing the load

The Lord is my Shepherd, I have all I need

He gave me Maria, my comfort, my peace

He leads us together beside the still waters

Through every season, through every tomorrow

You love Him with all of your heart and your soul

With you by my side, my cup overflows

You are so patient, so loving and kind

The sweetest companion that I could ever find

Three beautiful children, a gift from above

And seven grandkids who are surrounded by love

Every moment we've cherished through all fifty years

His grace has sustained us and conquered our fears

The Lord is my Shepherd, I have all I need

He gave me Maria, my comfort, my peace

He leads us together beside the still waters

Through every season, through every tomorrow

You love Him with all of your heart and your soul

With you by my side, my cup overflows

Through the valleys and shadows, we feared no dark days

His rod and His staff were our comfort and stay

Surely His goodness and mercy will follow us now

Just like they have since we made our first vow

We'll dwell in the house of the Lord evermore

Loving each other and praising the Lord

The Lord is my Shepherd, I have all I need

He gave me Maria, my comfort, my peace

He leads us together beside the still waters

Through every season, through every tomorrow

You love Him with all of your heart and your soul

My biggest blessing, my cup overflows
