Grace and Mercy Brought You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some prayers get answered quiet, Lord In a place you never planned I came back home to Kankakee, just a friend Not knowing God's own hand At Lincoln Cultural Center, our eyes met And your whole life changed from that day on [Chorus] It was grace and mercy, Lord That brought you all this way Seventy years of blessings poured We're lifting up your name today Happy birthday, Tyler Amen, amen, amen we say [Verse 2] Hun, my chocolate honey bun, bae, Thirty-three years by your side Three beautiful daughters, gifts from above One granddaughter, joy and pride You walked our baby girl down the aisle this June With tears of joy in your eyes [Chorus] It was grace and mercy, Lord That brought you all this way Seventy years of blessings poured We're lifting up your name today Happy birthday, Tyler Amen, amen, amen we say [Bridge] Thirty-two years you've preached and taught the Word Soft spoken, steady, true You never sugarcoat it, love It's honest, and it's love shining through [Verse 3] Kindhearted, meek and humble, wise and gentle Unshakable when the storms would blow A man after God's own heart, now writing Books of all the Lord has shown Retirement and long vacations calling More grandbabies, Lord, we pray [Chorus] It was grace and mercy, Lord That kept you every single day Seventy years of blessings poured More birthdays still on the way Tyler, we love you, husband, daddy Amen, amen, we pray [Outro] Sabrina, Tyra, Taylor Jordan and our sweet Amani too Happy seventieth birthday, Hun, our steady rock Amen, amen, amen, we love you
