Barely More Than Children

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were barely more than children When we said our vows that day Two hearts and empty pockets And a long and winding way But something in your steady hands Told me we'd be alright Through the lean years and the hard years You were always by my side [Chorus] Oh, thank the Lord above For the blessing of your love Warrior strong, unforgettable, loving You're the answer to my prayers The proof that heaven cares Every day I'm still amazed you're mine [Verse 2] We built a home from nothing On faith and stubborn dreams You raised our boys up righteous Taught them what devotion means And our baby girl, she's got your eyes Your kindness and your fire Mar, you gave this family Everything the heart desires [Chorus] Oh, thank the Lord above For the blessing of your love Warrior strong, unforgettable, loving You're the answer to my prayers The proof that heaven cares Every day I'm still amazed you're mine [Bridge] When we had nothing but each other You never once let go The best of every mother The truest love I know [Verse 3] So I bow my head and whisper A grateful, humble prayer For the woman who stood with me When the cupboards were all bare Mar, I'm so proud to hold you Through the sweet and stormy weather The love of all my life I'll thank God we're here together [Chorus] Oh, thank the Lord above For the blessing of your love Warrior strong, unforgettable, loving You're the answer to my prayers The proof that heaven cares Every day I'm still amazed you're mine [Outro] Mar, my heart, my faithful friend I'll love you to the end
