Under Texas Skies So Wide

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Aggie land, a autumn morning, Two young hearts that didn't know How the years would come and gather, How this love would learn to grow. A city girl, a farmer's son, Found a road and made it home. [Chorus] Oh, this life we built together, Under Texas skies so wide, Through the calm and through the weather, You've been standing by my side. Faith and family, peace and glory, Forty-seven years of grace — Every chapter of our story, Written in your gentle face. [Verse 2] You wore the Navy's colors proudly, Thirty-eight long years of blue, Serving quiet, serving loudly, Still you always made it through. And when you'd finally come back home, Jim, I never felt alone. [Chorus] Oh, this life we built together, Under Texas skies so wide, Through the calm and through the weather, You've been standing by my side. Faith and family, peace and glory, Forty-seven years of grace — Every chapter of our story, Written in your gentle face. [Bridge] A servant-leader, strong and true, You lift me up when skies are gray. You praise the good that I can do, And love me more with every day. [Verse 3] Now Julie's grown and Justin's shining, On the ranch where longhorns roam, And I who feared the country living Found in you my truest home. Jim, you turned this girl to farmer, Turned my whole world into gold. [Chorus] Oh, this life we built together, Under Texas skies so wide, Through the calm and through the weather, You've been standing by my side. Faith and family, peace and glory, Forty-seven years of grace — Every chapter of our story, Written in your gentle face. [Outro] So here's to you, my Jim, my everything, The love the good Lord let me keep.
