Matthew

Sixteen years ago, the good Lord made a way

When my sister-in-law brought you into my day

I had just made the move down to Tennessee

Didn't know the blessing He was holding for me

I looked in your eyes and I found my home

A handsome husband to call my own

Oh, Matthew, you are the rock I lean on

My very best friend when the days get long

Through the ups and the downs, you stay right by my side

A beautiful father, my joy and my pride

I thank the good Lord for the love that we share

I couldn't ask for a better man to be there

We don't need much to feel the spirit move

Just a four-wheeler ride in the afternoon

Floating in the pool when the sun goes down

Watching late-night TV with no one around

It’s a simple life, but it’s holy ground

With the sweetest love that I've ever found

Oh, Matthew, you are the rock I lean on

My very best friend when the days get long

Through the ups and the downs, you stay right by my side

A beautiful father, my joy and my pride

I thank the good Lord for the love that we share

I couldn't ask for a better man to be there

We’ve walked through the valleys, we’ve climbed up the hills

But your steady hand is holding me still

Thank you for being the strength that I need

The anchor of our family, the one who takes the lead

I love you so much, you are my peace

Oh, Matthew, you are the rock I lean on

My very best friend when the days get long

Through the ups and the downs, you stay right by my side

A beautiful father, my joy and my pride

I thank the good Lord for the love that we share

I couldn't ask for a better husband to be there

Yes, Matthew, you are the rock I lean on
