From Mick's Place to Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The Lord works in His quiet ways Through doors we never planned One night inside of Mick's Place You wouldn't take my hand I told your friend I'd marry you someday And Lord, I had it right [Chorus] Forty years by the grace of God Forty years we're standing strong Through the valleys and the blessings He has carried us along Oh Becky, you're my answered prayer You're where my heart belongs [Verse 2] I kept on coming round your door Til you finally let me stay Sweet Amanda, only four Took my hand and showed the way Then three more children blessed our home And filled it up with grace [Chorus] Forty years by the grace of God Forty years we're standing strong Through the valleys and the blessings He has carried us along Oh Becky, you're my answered prayer You're where my heart belongs [Bridge] We've had our struggles, had our tears Some nights we couldn't see But you would fold your hands and pray And God would carry you and me [Verse 3] You always see the good in folks Where the world just sees the wrong You saw it in this stubborn man And you loved me all along Five grandbabies and a great grand too Our legacy began with you [Chorus] Forty years by the grace of God Forty years and still so strong Through the valleys and the blessings He has carried us along Oh Becky, you're my answered prayer You're where my heart belongs [Outro] Thank You, Lord, for forty years And the love You gave to me Becky, I'd do it all again Every step on bended knee
