Heaven Had a Table for Two

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some roads begin in sorrow, some blessings start with tears A friend we loved went home to God, the dearest of our years We stood there in the quiet, two hearts not yet aware That heaven had a plan for us, already waiting there [Chorus] Happy birthday, Mark, my answered prayer You love me with a patience only grace could put there You hold me like the Savior holds a weary, wandering heart What God put together, no one can tear apart [Verse 2] Then a simple Mexican dinner, a table set for two Warm tortillas, easy laughter, and a sky of evening blue I didn't know that supper was the start of something grand But somewhere in that candlelight, I was reaching for your hand [Chorus] Happy birthday, Mark, my answered prayer You love me with a patience only grace could put there You hold me like the Savior holds a weary, wandering heart What God put together, no one can tear apart [Bridge] We've faced the trials and tribulations, nights that tested every vow But you never once let go of me, and look where we're standing now [Verse 3] So tonight I light your candles with a thankful, peaceful heart For the joy you bring each morning, for the faith that played its part You love me like the Good Book says, you lift me when I fall Of all the gifts God gave me, baby, you're the best of all [Chorus] Happy birthday, Mark, my answered prayer You love me with a patience only grace could put there You hold me like the Savior holds a weary, wandering heart What God put together, no one will tear apart [Outro] Happy birthday, baby, my peace, my joy, my home I love you, Mark, and I thank God you're my own
