Fifty-One Years of Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was just fourteen years old, When a promise ring was mine to hold. An old truck and a first sweet kiss, Who could've dreamed a life like this? Through every road, both low and high, God kept our love and told us why. [Chorus] Oh David Wayne, my faithful one, Through fifty-one years, look what we've done. Strong and honest, true and kind, The best of God's love, yours and mine. It's been a party, all these years, Through every valley, every tear. [Verse 2] You broke my heart, then healed it too, Came back and said "I'm marrying you." A boy of twenty, me eighteen, Building a life on faith unseen. John David came, your pride and joy, Our shining light, our precious boy. [Chorus] Oh David Wayne, my faithful one, Through fifty-one years, look what we've done. Strong and honest, true and kind, The best of God's love, yours and mine. It's been a party, all these years, Through every valley, every tear. [Bridge] The storm came knocking at our door, But God had healing still in store. You stood so strong, you never fell, And He made everything so well. [Verse 3] With Ty you hunt, you fish, you laugh, Best buddies down a country path. Sweet Hanna shines, so bright, so free, You built this beautiful family. You love the Lord, you love me too, And I will always be there for you. [Chorus] Oh David Wayne, my faithful one, Through fifty-one years, look what we've done. Strong and honest, true and kind, The best of God's love, yours and mine. [Outro] It's been a party, David Wayne, Through all the sunshine and the rain.
