Robert

I was stranded at the doctor, heavy news upon my mind

Facing down a surgery, leaving my peace behind

My cousin came and picked me up, said we're going to the pews

I didn't know the Lord was making plans to bring me you

I walked into the sanctuary, hurting and afraid

I fell in love the moment that I heard the chords you played

Oh, Robert, you're the answer to a prayer I couldn't speak

You are loving and forgiving when my spirit's feeling weak

Thank you for the care you show, for being my whole world

God blessed me with your tender heart, I'm the luckiest girl

I love you more than earthly words could ever frame

I thank the Lord in heaven for the day I learned your name

My cousin passed along my number, and you called me on the phone

We'd talk away the midnight hours, I finally felt at home

Then the stitches were removed, but my grandma threw me out

I had nowhere to turn to, just a heavy cloud of doubt

But you opened up your front door with compassionate grace

You took a broken season and you gave me a safe place

Oh, Robert, you're the answer to a prayer I couldn't speak

You are loving and forgiving when my spirit's feeling weak

Thank you for the care you show, for being my whole world

God blessed me with your tender heart, I'm the luckiest girl

I love you more than earthly words could ever frame

I thank the Lord in heaven for the day I learned your name

Eleven years together now, eleven years of care

Before I go to sleep at night, I lift you up in prayer

My love for you grows deeper with every passing day

You are the love of my life in every single way

Oh, Robert, you're the answer to a prayer I couldn't speak

You are loving and forgiving when my spirit's feeling weak

Thank you for the care you show, for being my whole world

God blessed me with your tender heart, I'm the luckiest girl

I love you more than any earthly words will ever say

Thank God for the piano, and the man who learned to play
