A Well-Earned Crown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a kind of love that gives and gives, Never asking for its due, A quiet strength that carries us, Steady, faithful, always true. The heart of every family Pours it out for me and you. [Chorus] Jakia, you're our steady ground, The peace we lean on when we fall, Faith and love in all you do, The strongest woman of us all. Happy birthday, precious soul, We're proud of you, we love you all. [Verse 2] You took the kings beneath your wing, Gave your care so freely, wide, A little spice in every dish, A little sass, and honest pride. Through the storms you never bent, Grace and glory by your side. [Chorus] Jakia, you're our steady ground, The peace we lean on when we fall, Faith and love in all you do, The strongest woman of us all. Happy birthday, precious soul, We're proud of you, we love you all. [Bridge] I saw you cross that stage that day, And oh, the tears came running down. You earned those letters by your name, A healer's heart, a well-earned crown. [Verse 3] Forty-four and shining bright, There's no limit to your climb. We pray you go as far you dream, God will walk you all the time. You're our person, always here, A love no distance ever binds. [Chorus] Jakia, you're our steady ground, The peace we lean on when we fall, Faith and love in all you do, The strongest woman of us all. Happy birthday, precious soul, We're proud of you, we love you all. [Outro] So blow the candles, take your bow, Our giving heart, we honor you now.
