This Gentle Man of Mine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Morning light spills across the valley Every blessing comes from above Heaven hears the prayers I whisper Heaven knows the ones I love Forty years I've walked beside him Gentle hands that still hold mine [Chorus] Thank You, Lord, for Kevin For the kindness in his soul Seventy years of Your goodness In a heart You made so whole Every day I lift my hands up high Grateful for this gentle man of mine [Verse 2] Every year he shows me something new Of the gentle, loving man he is Quiet strength and patient laughter Tender as a morning kiss Through the seasons, through the changes His love has never let me go [Chorus] Thank You, Lord, for Kevin For the kindness in his soul Seventy years of Your goodness In a heart You made so whole Every day I lift my hands up high Grateful for this gentle man of mine [Bridge] To my favorite person Thank you for the life you've given me You make the world a softer, brighter, more beautiful place Just by being in it, just by being you [Verse 3] Now we gather round seventy candles Forty years of answered prayer Every morning I will thank Him That He placed you with me there Kevin, may your days be many Wrapped in mercy, crowned in love [Chorus] So thank You, Lord, for Kevin For the kindness in his soul Seventy years of Your goodness In a heart You made so whole Every day I lift my hands up high Grateful for this gentle man of mine [Outro] Softer, brighter, beautiful Just because you're here Happy birthday, my beloved I thank God every day you're here
