I was right there in the room the minute you arrived
Caught my breath when I looked into those beautiful grey eyes
Held you close, it was a moment I could not forget
The purest kind of blessing that I'd ever met
Now I watch you growing up, navigating fears
With a spirit that is living way beyond your years
With the patience and the understanding that you show
I’m just thanking God above watching Anira grow
ChorusSo trust in the Lord with all your heart, let the Spirit guide
Lean not on your own understanding, keep the faith alive
Submit to Him in all your ways, He'll make your pathways straight
Anira, you’re my cheerleader, your destiny is great
Yeah, He will make your pathways straight
My granddaughter, my cheerleader, your destiny is great
Verse 2Life gets heavy, but you handle it with so much grace
Always bring a peaceful energy into the space
When I'm feeling down and out, or my spirit drops
You step up to be my cheerleader, the love never stops
No matter what the situation, you just understand
Got a quiet kind of wisdom, reaching out your hand
It’s a blessing just to witness how you walk your lane
Through the triumphs and the trials, you always stay the same
BridgeThose grey eyes see the world with a patient view
I thank the heavens every day that I was given you
So when the crossroads come and you don't know where to turn
Hold on to the holy Word and the truth you've learned
Final ChorusTrust in the Lord with all your heart, let the Spirit guide
Lean not on your own understanding, keep the faith alive
Submit to Him in all your ways, He'll make your pathways straight
Anira, you’re my cheerleader, your destiny is great
Yeah, submit to Him in all your ways, He'll make your pathways straight
Anira, you’re my cheerleader, your destiny is great
