Steven

September of ninety-two, working my shift

You walked in for a birthday, my ultimate gift

The cutest guy there with that long mullet flowing

I was just twenty-three, but my spirit was knowing

It was love at first sight when our eyes finally met

You gave me your number, how could I forget?

I called in a few days, we talked day and night

You picked me up later and brought in the light

Oh, Steven, my best friend, my first real love

A reflection of grace from the Savior above

Through all of the hard times, you carried the weight

A passionate believer who walks by his faith

You keep me so grounded, you give me your best

With you and with Jesus, my spirit is blessed

Thirty-one years since we stood at the altar

Through valleys and trials, your love didn't falter

I knew you were mine when I brought you to Mom

She loved you right then, and your bond is still strong

You’re an amazing dad to the girls that we raised

And Papa to four, giving God all the praise

A hardworking man who puts everyone first

You've stood by my side through the best and the worst

Oh, Steven, my best friend, my first real love

A reflection of grace from the Savior above

Through all of the hard times, you carried the weight

A passionate believer who walks by his faith

You keep me so grounded, you give me your best

With you and with Jesus, my spirit is blessed

My laid-back music lover, talented and kind

The most generous spirit that I'll ever find

Even when shadows were heavy for you

You loved unconditionally, pulling us through

You make sure I have everything that I need

A follower of Jesus in word and in deed

Oh, Steven, my best friend, my first real love

A reflection of grace from the Savior above

Through all of the hard times, you carried the weight

A passionate believer who walks by his faith

You keep me so grounded, you give me your best

With you and with Jesus, my spirit is blessed
