James

We met back at the Washington County Sheriff Department

A memory in my soul that I've always kept

I saw a handsome man, so humble and strong

But the distance between us lasted so long

Years kept us separated, walking different tracks

But time did its work, and time brought us back

James, you’re my peace when the evening falls

You’re the one I lean on when the spirit calls

With your warmest smile and your protective embrace

A God-fearing man who stands firm in His grace

From the quiet, slow drives to the words we say

I am choosing you, James, every single day

We sit and watch God’s scenery, peaceful and still

Eating good food, letting the quiet hours fill

You're so funny and kind, we just laugh and we talk

Holding my hand on a short, quiet walk

And we share our deep love for Yvonne Harp's light

A beautiful woman we miss day and night

James, you’re my peace when the evening falls

You’re the one I lean on when the spirit calls

With your warmest smile and your protective embrace

A God-fearing man who stands firm in His grace

From the quiet, slow drives to the words we say

I am choosing you, James, every single day

You’re a great provider, encouraging and smart

A hard-working man with an understanding heart

You love your family, you cherish the earth

You showed me what a positive partnership is worth

No more years apart, no more miles to sever

We planned this life to be together forever

James, you’re my peace when the evening falls

You’re the one I lean on when the spirit calls

With your warmest smile and your protective embrace

A God-fearing man who stands firm in His grace

Through the music we play and the prayers we say

I am choosing you, James, every single day
