Glen

There was smoke in the air at that barbecue

When I heard a guitar and I first saw you

Glen, you were strumming a sweet, simple song

And I knew right then where my heart belonged

You’ve always been caring, so gentle and kind

The most loving husband a woman could find

I love you from the bottom of my heart

Even when concrete keeps us apart

For now and forever, I’m standing by you

I see the good work that the Lord's doing, too

Through valleys and shadows, our love remains strong

Right by your side is where I belong

Life took a turn and you had to go

Down a harder road than a man should know

But behind those walls, you saw the light

And turned to the Lord to make it right

Now you play your guitar in the chapel choir

Strumming those strings with a holy fire

I love you from the bottom of my heart

Even when concrete keeps us apart

For now and forever, I’m standing by you

I see the good work that the Lord's doing, too

Through valleys and shadows, our love remains strong

Right by your side is where I belong

When those doors open and you finally walk out

We’ll follow His way, I have no doubt

We'll build up a life on a promise so true

Just me and the Lord and my sweet-hearted you

I love you from the bottom of my heart

No walls and no distance can keep us apart

For now and forever, I’m standing by you

I see the good work that the Lord's doing, too

Through valleys and shadows, our love remains strong

Glen, right by your side is where I belong
