Joey

I see the calluses upon your hands

The way you work so hard to build our plans

You are the shelter when the wind is cold

A quiet strength, the bravest heart I hold

Joey, you're the one who guards my peace

With you, my anxious worries finally cease

So I lift my hands and thank the Lord above

For writing out this story of our love

You are the answer to the prayers I'd pray

The light that chases all the dark away

I look at you and I can finally see

You are the man that God has sent to me

But underneath the heavy weight you bear

There is a silly spirit that you share

You make me smile when the days are long

With a joyful heart that keeps me strong

Just standing in the kitchen, just us two

And laughing over pepper water soup

So I lift my hands and thank the Lord above

For writing out this story of our love

You are the answer to the prayers I'd pray

The light that chases all the dark away

I look at you and I can finally see

You are the man that God has sent to me

Protective and steady, a rock in the storm

Your faith and your humor are keeping me warm

You guard my heart and you cover my soul

With the grace of the Maker who makes us whole

So I lift my hands and thank the Lord above

For writing out this story of our love

You are the answer to the prayers I'd pray

The light that chases all the dark away

Oh, Joey, I look at you and I believe

You are the man that God has sent to me

Yes, you are the man that God has sent to me
