Matias

In nineteen ninety-six, we started out as friends

Didn't know the beautiful journey God would send

March twenty-seventh, ninety-seven, two hearts aligned

By April twenty-ninth, our lives were intertwined

Twenty-nine years of a blessed, sweet life

You always cherish me as your beautiful wife

Oh Matias, God’s got you, don't you be afraid

Rest in the promise that the Savior made

He will lay His hand on you, this I surely know

Covering you with grace from your head down to your toes

You’ve protected our family, kept us safe and warm

Now the Lord is your shelter in the middle of the storm

I still see nineteen ninety-nine, a tear in your eye

Holding our firstborn, Angel, as the world stood by

Now four precious children are standing so tall

And eleven grandkids come running down the hall

You built up this family with your steady hands

A faithful, loving father, a truly righteous man

Oh Matias, God’s got you, don't you be afraid

Rest in the promise that the Savior made

He will lay His hand on you, this I surely know

Covering you with grace from your head down to your toes

You’ve protected our family, kept us safe and warm

Now the Lord is your shelter in the middle of the storm

And when you're going through your trial on the sixteenth day

The Holy Spirit will guide you, He will lead the way

You will pass that polygraph, your conscience is clear

The Lord is in the room with you, you have nothing to fear

Just breathe in His presence, let His peace take control

He is watching over you, body, mind, and soul

Oh Matias, God’s got you, don't you be afraid

Rest in the promise that the Savior made

He will lay His hand on you, this I surely know

Covering you with grace from your head down to your toes

You’ve protected our family, kept us safe and warm

Now the Lord is your shelter in the middle of the storm
