The Good Lord Knew All Along

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two strangers in a terminal, Two hearts with stories left untold, We carried more than carry-ons, Some heavy roads, some breaking holds. But Heaven had a quiet plan, He placed my future in your hand. [Chorus] You're the answer to a prayer I prayed, The steady love that wouldn't fade. Through every season, every mile, You meet me with that same warm smile. Twenty-five years and counting on, The good Lord knew all along. [Verse 2] May twenty-seventh, two thousand one, We promised forever beneath the sun. Then came MJ with a swing so true, Then Taylor's eyes, seeing the world like you. You worked the long days, you carried the load, So I could be home down that winding road. [Chorus] You're the answer to a prayer I prayed, The steady love that wouldn't fade. Through every season, every mile, You meet me with that same warm smile. Twenty-five years and counting on, The good Lord knew all along. [Bridge] Oh Mark, at thirteen you lost your dad, But look at the man, look at the life you've had. He'd be so proud of who you've become, The father, the husband, the steady one. [Verse 3] You tell me you love me every day, You show it in a hundred ways. Funding their dreams, their clubs, their lens, Loving this family without an end. Faithful, devoted, gentle and strong, Mark, with you is where I belong. [Chorus] You're the answer to a prayer I prayed, The steady love that wouldn't fade. Through every season, every mile, You meet me with that same warm smile. Twenty-five years and counting on, The good Lord knew all along. [Outro] Thank God for that airport day, Mark, my forever, come what may.
