My Forever Wife

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On a ship out on the ocean, salt wind in the air A young man just past college saw a girl too fine to compare Hilton Head behind her, a whole world up ahead I said if we're meant to be, then let it come, and left it in God's hands instead [Chorus] Oh Sandra, you were worth the wait Two years and one leap of faith You moved to Georgia, gave me your whole life My beautiful bride, my forever wife [Verse 2] Three little girls came running down the hall We built it up from nothing, and you never once complained through it all You had faith when the money was thin You believed in me, my love, before I ever believed I'd win [Chorus] Oh Sandra, you were worth the wait Blessings poured out on the ones who wait From Atlanta streets to a Charleston sky My beautiful bride, my forever wife [Bridge] When the storm took hold and my body grew weak You stayed every night, wouldn't sleep, wouldn't leave By the grace of God and your love so strong I'm still here breathing, still singing this song [Verse 3] Now we chase the sunsets, half a world apart we roam Down to the Mendoza vineyards, back to where your heart calls home Grandbabies laughing, four little hearts we adore All the years, all the miles, still I'd cross that ocean for you once more [Chorus] Oh Sandra, you were worth the wait A lifetime built on love and faith Through every season, you've stayed by my side My beautiful bride, my forever wife [Outro] So here's to us, and the road still ahead Grateful for every word you've said Thank God above for the day we met
