Jerry

I loved you the very first time that we met

Your smile and deep dimples I could never forget

May twenty-third, nineteen ninety-eight

God brought us together and set our path straight

You light up the room with a spirit so bright

A true man of God walking into the light

Every single day I wake up and I see

How much the Lord has given to me

Oh, God blessed me more than words could express

When He gave me a husband who gives nothing less

To know you, Jerry, is a gift from above

Twenty-four seven, experiencing love

You’re a father, a PawPaw, our shelter and friend

A hardworking provider on whom we depend

You give of your heart to us, just because

You show us that love is what love does

Two beautiful children, and grandchildren too

A family built on the faith inside you

You work hard to provide and protect what we share

Whenever someone needs you, you’re already there

You lift people up when they're heavy with grief

Even when you are the one needing relief

A brother, an uncle, a heart made of gold

You walk in the Spirit, courageous and bold

Oh, God blessed me more than words could express

When He gave me a husband who gives nothing less

To know you, Jerry, is a gift from above

Twenty-four seven, experiencing love

You’re a father, a PawPaw, our shelter and friend

A hardworking provider on whom we depend

You give of your heart to us, just because

You show us that love is what love does

You stood at the edge, you were so close to death

But the Lord wasn't finished, He gave you your breath

Now you share your testimony, shining His grace

A living, breathing miracle right in this place

With all of our hearts, we honor your life

I'm so deeply grateful to be called your wife

Oh, God blessed me more than words could express

When He gave me a husband who gives nothing less

To know you, Jerry, is a gift from above

Twenty-four seven, experiencing love

You’re a father, a PawPaw, our shelter and friend

A hardworking provider on whom we depend

You give of your heart to us, just because

You show us that love is what love does
