Jalen

The day that we met at that Chick-fil-A

You stole my heart and you took it away

So tall and so handsome, a true man of God

A sweet, loving fairytale right from the start

That very first date when you asked me to be

Your girlfriend forever, brought joy right to me

From movie days resting to working the yard

I gave you my spirit, I gave you my heart

Oh, Jalen, I love you, you hold my whole heart

Even when rocky roads threatened to part

I still chose you then, and I choose you today

I see how you're growing in God's holy way

Keep walking in faith, let His love be your wings

Through Christ who strengthens you, you can do all things

Walking the zoo and the days at the park

Finding His light when the seasons got dark

Out at the lake with the sun on the breeze

Sharing our tears, falling down on our knees

Those vulnerable moments we broke down and cried

Brought us much closer, with nothing to hide

But the greatest of blessings that I get to claim

Is watching you baptized in Jesus' sweet name

I know that our journey had mountains to climb

And my heart was broken a couple of times

But I'm praying for you, and I miss you right now

I see all the changes God's making somehow

I pray that He molds you and leads from above

I'm choosing forgiveness, I'm choosing our love

Oh, Jalen, I love you, you hold my whole heart

Even when rocky roads threatened to part

I still chose you then, and I choose you today

I see how you're growing in God's holy way

I love you so much, baby, let your soul sing

Through Christ who strengthens you, you can do all things

Yes, keep walking forward, let faith be your wings

Through Christ who strengthens you, you can do all things
