Mace

When we first met, the seed was sown

At the Urban League where grace was shown

We couldn't see the road that lay ahead

Or the faithful way our steps were led

The seasons turned, the decades slipped away

But Heaven was just planning for today

For He knows the plans He has for you and me

A future and a hope to set us free

Mace, your patient heart is where I find my rest

A loving, giving spirit, truly blessed

You're my safe protection, a positive light

I thank the Lord for timing that made it right

Now in this season, the circle closed

Walking on the track, just like He chose

I caught your eye and everything was new

The joy of God was shining out from you

All of those years of walking by faith

Just to find our miracle in this place

For He knows the plans He has for you and me

A future and a hope to set us free

Mace, your patient heart is where I find my rest

A loving, giving spirit, truly blessed

You're my safe protection, a positive light

I thank the Lord for timing that made it right

Every single year was guided by His hand

Every quiet moment part of His command

Through the passing seasons and the waiting days

He was writing out this symphony of praise

For He knows the plans He has for you and me

A future and a hope to set us free

Mace, your patient heart is where I find my rest

A loving, giving spirit, truly blessed

You're my safe protection, a positive light

I thank the Lord for timing that made it right

Yeah, I thank the Lord for bringing you into my life
