Charlene

Lord, I look back on the journey and the life we've built

Seeing all Your mercy and the peace my heart has felt

Twenty-four years of walking side by side

With the beautiful companion You provided as my bride

You knew exactly what my spirit would need

And planted a garden from a single, faithful seed

God has blessed me with a very special wife

A beacon of His heaven shining in my life

Charlene, you are the answer to my every prayer

Lifting up my spirit, always standing there

I raise my hands and praise the Lord above

For the daily miracle of your encouraging love

When the heavy trials come and try to block my way

You speak a word of hope and turn the dark to day

You encourage my soul to keep on standing strong

You are the gentle harmony inside my worship song

Through every single season, through the joy and tears

I see the Father's goodness in these twenty-four years

God has blessed me with a very special wife

A beacon of His heaven shining in my life

Charlene, you are the answer to my every prayer

Lifting up my spirit, always standing there

I raise my hands and praise the Lord above

For the daily miracle of your encouraging love

Two dozen years together, guided by His word

The greatest earthly treasure I've been given by the Lord

We will keep on praising, lifting up His name

With a bond that burns forever like a holy flame

You are my greatest blessing, my partner and my friend

A gift of grace from heaven that will never end

God has blessed me with a very special wife

A beacon of His heaven shining in my life

Charlene, you are the answer to my every prayer

Lifting up my spirit, always standing there

I raise my hands and praise the Lord above

For twenty-four years of your encouraging love

Yes, God has blessed me with a very special wife

Thank You, Lord, for Charlene, the blessing of my life
