Horice

We were just fifteen, out on the hardwood floor

Always picking each other when they called out for more

I’d take it to the hole, and the guys would get mad

You were ready to fight, the best defender I had

Your grandma said we'd marry, I laughed and said "nah"

But God was writing a story that left me in awe

I knew you were special, a different kind of grace

A teenage man of God, running a faithful race

Oh Horice, I know the Lord chose you for me

A beautiful spirit for the whole world to see

From fifteen to fifty-eight, you’ve never let me down

My loyal best friend, the greatest love I've found

I can't see my life without you, my heart and my life

I love you, Johnson, I'm proud to be your wife

By the warm fireplace, after dinner for two

You asked for forever, and my dreams came true

You showed our boy Quevas what a father should be

Watching him board that school bus so faithfully

Clear up to the eighth grade, you stood by the drive

Showing him how a man keeps his family alive

My whole family loves you, they see your true light

A protective husband who always does what is right

Oh Horice, I know the Lord chose you for me

A beautiful spirit for the whole world to see

From fifteen to fifty-eight, you’ve never let me down

My loyal best friend, the greatest love I've found

I can't see my life without you, my heart and my life

I love you, Johnson, I'm proud to be your wife

Now we talk of the front porch, the setting of the sun

Growing old together when the busy days are done

I’ll hold your hand while we sleep in the dark

I’ll be here to worry with you, guarding your heart

I'll pray with you, and I'll pray for you too

Just like you do for me, my whole life through

Oh Horice, I know the Lord chose you for me

A beautiful spirit for the whole world to see

From fifteen to fifty-eight, you’ve never let me down

My loyal best friend, the greatest love I've found

I can't see my life without you, my heart and my life

I love you, Johnson, I'm proud to be your wife

Yes, the Lord chose you, my love and my life

I love you, Johnson, forever your wife
