Eve

Before we even had the words to pray

We were babies sharing the light of day

Now we are standing in our fifties, looking back

At a lifelong bond on a faithful track

Eve, you've always been a steady friend

A beautiful grace on which I depend

Oh, Eve, I pray you always see

How much you are loved by God and me

You are the loyal heart I always need

Planting your encouragement like a seed

With a funny word and an intuitive soul

You remind me that Heaven is in control

You have a way of knowing what I cannot speak

You step right in whenever I am weak

You bring the laughter that heals my mind

A truer companion I could never find

Through every season, you've stayed so true

I thank the Father for the gift of you

Oh, Eve, I pray you always see

How much you are loved by God and me

You are the loyal heart I always need

Planting your encouragement like a seed

With a funny word and an intuitive soul

You remind me that Heaven is in control

From the nursery floor to the silver years

Through the celebrations and the quiet tears

Half a century of grace, hand in hand

A beautiful friendship that Heaven planned

Oh, Eve, I pray you always see

How much you are loved by God and me

You are the loyal heart I always need

Planting your encouragement like a seed

With a funny word and an intuitive soul

You remind me that Heaven is in control

From the time we were babies to eternity

Eve, you are so loved by God and me
