Eva

Fifty years beside the man you love

A dedication that I'm in awe of

You pack the car and head out to the trees

Out on a camping trip to find your peace

A half a century of holding hands

Building a family on solid ground

Mom, I watch the way you live your days

And I am guided by your steady ways

You find your peace and joy in Jesus' name

A burning light that never loses flame

You give your heart to help out everyone

From Sunday morning to the setting sun

You are a living witness to His grace

A royal daughter in a sacred space

No matter where you go or what you do

You are God's favorite princess, shining through

Down at the church, you're always pouring out

Showing the weary what love's all about

With open hands, you serve the ones in need

You give yourself to plant a better seed

But you don't do it for an earthly prize

I see the love of heaven in your eyes

Your faithful spirit is a sight to see

You are the mother that I need you to be

You find your peace and joy in Jesus' name

A burning light that never loses flame

You give your heart to help out everyone

From Sunday morning to the setting sun

You are a living witness to His grace

A royal daughter in a sacred space

No matter where you go or what you do

You are God's favorite princess, shining through

It’s not the heartfelt work you do that buys your soul's release

It’s the faith you hold inside that brings you perfect peace

Justified and made upright, apart from all good deeds

You trust the Lord to be the only Savior that you need

The words of Romans chapter three are written on your soul

Believing in His promises is what has made you whole

You find your peace and joy in Jesus' name

A burning light that never loses flame

You give your heart to help out everyone

From Sunday morning to the setting sun

You are a living witness to His grace

A royal daughter in a sacred space

Through fifty years of love and faith so true

You are God's favorite princess, I love you
