The Answered Prayer I Hold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thirty-nine years down this winding road, Two hearts that learned to share the load Through every season, sun and rain, God walked beside us just the same. I found a treasure, rare and true, A love that only seemed to grow. [Chorus] Oh, you're my best friend and my lover, The answered prayer I'm still amazed to hold. I thank the Lord for every morning, Your faith the light that leads me home. Beautiful and wise and holy, I'll love you till my final breath is drawn. [Verse 2] Sherri, your kindness fills a room, The children rise and call you blessed. Grandbabies laughing on your knee, They see the Savior's love in you. A heart for God in all you do, That's how I know my dreams came true. [Chorus] Oh, you're my best friend and my lover, The answered prayer I'm still amazed to hold. I thank the Lord for every morning, Your faith the light that leads me home. Beautiful and wise and holy, I'll love you till my final breath is drawn. [Bridge] Half a lifetime, hand in hand, Built on grace and higher plans. Whatever comes, whatever's next, I'd choose you, Sherri, all again. [Verse 3] So here's my promise, still the same, As sacred as the day I came. When years grow gold and slow and worn, I'll thank my God you're mine to hold. Sherri, you're my earthly heaven, The sweetest gift I'll ever know. [Chorus] Oh, you're my best friend and my lover, The answered prayer I'm still amazed to hold. I thank the Lord for every morning, Your faith the light that leads me home. Beautiful and wise and holy, I'll love you till my final breath is drawn. [Outro] Thirty-nine years, and still I'm yours, Through faith and love forevermore.
