Gladys

I still remember the sanctuary light

Where we first met, walking by faith, not by sight

Twenty-five years of a beautiful grace

I still see the heaven that shines in your face

Gladys, my partner, my earthly reward

A love story written by the hand of the Lord

You are the wisdom that guides me through the night

When the heavy moments fall, you lift me to the light

We didn't rush the seasons, we waited on the vine

A love that was awakened in His perfect time

Oh, patient and beautiful, faithful and true

I thank the Lord for the gift of you

Every mile we’ve traveled, the trips that we have shared

Show me the depths of the way you’ve always cared

Look at the family that grew from our hands

Guided by mercy and the Maker's commands

Two sons standing tall, and our little daughter's smile

You make every step of this journey worthwhile

You are the wisdom that guides me through the night

When the heavy moments fall, you lift me to the light

We didn't rush the seasons, we waited on the vine

A love that was awakened in His perfect time

Oh, patient and beautiful, faithful and true

I thank the Lord for the gift of you

When the valleys were deep and my spirit was weak

You spoke the very prayers that I couldn't speak

You held up my arms when the battle was long

Gladys, your faith is my favorite song

Just like the scripture has taught us to see

Love woke exactly when it was meant to be

You are the wisdom that guides me through the night

When the heavy moments fall, you lift me to the light

We didn't rush the seasons, we waited on the vine

A love that was awakened in His perfect time

Oh, patient and beautiful, faithful and true

Gladys, I thank the Lord for the gift of you
