Candace

Back in twenty-seventeen, my heart came awake

Riding in that first Mercedes, the memories we'd make

I watched the Holy Ghost fall on you, a beautiful sight

Holding our very first son, yeah, the future looked bright

You're so patient and kind, understanding and deep

With every meal that you cook, it's a promise you keep

Candace, God blessed me the day He gave me you

Nine years of this journey, and the fire is still new

You brought more life, you brought more joy to my days

I will forever love you, in so many ways

Through the triumphs and tears, you're my beautiful wife

Candace, you're the absolute love of my life

Homeschooling our six kids, pouring love in their minds

Teaching them patience and faith, leaving nothing behind

Throwing those beautiful birthdays down on St. Elmo Road

You're the heart of this family, lightening the load

I love watching you cruise in your Q80 Infiniti

My beautiful woman, my forever serenity

Candace, God blessed me the day He gave me you

Nine years of this journey, and the fire is still new

You brought more life, you brought more joy to my days

I will forever love you, in so many ways

Through the triumphs and tears, you're my beautiful wife

Candace, you're the absolute love of my life

We’ve walked through the valley, we’ve carried the pain

When we lost our sweet Silvanus, tears fell like the rain

But you held my hand tight when the shadows were cast

When that truck crash in twenty-twenty-five was almost my last

You stayed right by my side, my angel, my rock

Writing "Born Outside The Womb," showing faith doesn't stop

Friday night Bible study, praising God in our space

Traveling to the Ark in Lexington, covered in grace

When you sing out with Charity, spreading His word

It’s the sweetest, most soulful sound I’ve ever heard

You are the love of my life, my heart's only choice

I just want to hold you close and listen to your voice

Candace, God blessed me the day He gave me you

Nine years of this journey, and the fire is still new

You brought more life, you brought more joy to my days

I will forever love you, in so many ways

Through the triumphs and tears, you're my beautiful wife

Candace, you're the absolute love of my life
