The Love in Every Stitch

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Porch light glowing, evening coming slow Another year has passed, and still I know The finest things are quiet, soft and true Like a glass of lemonade, and the sun on you You're up before the rooster every day Burning midnight oil to pave our way [Chorus] Happy birthday, Christine, this one's for you For every sacrifice you've carried through Faith and kindness when the odds are long You fill our home with sunshine and song God gave me more than I could ever need When He gave me you to stand by me I'll be here with you till my final breath You're my blessing, you're my best [Verse 2] You used to cross stitch memories by the light Arrange the flowers, every stem just right Then you gave those hours to our kids Teaching Art in their classrooms, that's what you did Six children and three grandbabies now Each gift you choose, you always know just how [Chorus] Happy birthday, Christine, this one's for you For every sacrifice you've carried through God gave me more than I could ever need When He gave me you to stand by me I'll be here with you till my final breath You're my blessing, you're my best [Bridge] You're soft spoken, but your love speaks loud In every heart you've made so proud Lord, thank You for this faithful soul She's the one who makes us whole [Verse 3] Let's pack our bags and see the world, my dear Then come back home with all our children near A Hallmark movie, Sequence on the floor No one beats you at Clue, that's for sure I'll hold your hand down every road we roam Wherever you are, Chrissy, that's home [Chorus] Happy birthday, darling, this one's for you For every sacrifice you've carried through God gave me more than I could ever need When He gave me you to stand by me I'll be here with you till my final breath You're my blessing, you're my best [Outro] Happy birthday, darling, hear me say I'll love you more with every passing day
