**Prompt:** Write a Country Western song as a prayer of thanks to God about my wife, Bev. **Key Elements:** * **Tone:** Sincere, acoustic storytelling (think George Strait or Alan Jackson). * **Backstory:** Met in '89, BYU art class. She was a Vegas beauty; I was a shy missionary. * **Details:** She brought cookies, we ate popcorn/veggies. Black licorice ice cream. * **The Ex:** "John" was a fool to let her go. * **Wedding:** May 12th in the Seattle rain. * **Hardship:** 5 surgeries, learning to walk again. * **Theme:** "She stumbled, and I fell." * **Revelation:** "I don't love you *still*, I love you *more*." *** **Song Title:** Thank God She Stumbled **Genre:** Country Western / Gospel Ballad **Tempo:** Slow Waltz (3/4 time) **(Verse 1)** Dear Lord, tonight I’m down here on my knees Thinking back on 1989 and all the memories You put me in that art class with a charcoal stick in hand Next to a Vegas girl, the finest in the land She was the Apple Blossom Princess, I was just a shy unknown Thinking she didn't see me, feeling all alone She thought I was a married creep, scared to make a move But You had a plan, Lord, that we were bound to prove. **(Chorus)** And I thank You that she stumbled, so I could fall She tripped on the snow, but I heard the call She had a bad knee and a list of what she wanted in a man But she left that list behind when she took my trembling hand Yeah, she stumbled, Lord, she lost her ground But that’s exactly how this love was found She stumbled, and I fell. **(Verse 2)** I remember the popcorn and the veggies on the plate She showed up with cookies, sealing up our fate We sat there sharing black licorice ice cream—a distinct taste I thank You for the other John, for the time he let go to waste He was a distraction, Lord, a boy who didn't see That You were saving this angel just for me She sat on my lap, waiting to be convinced I kissed her three times, and I haven't stopped since. **(Bridge)** From the Seattle Temple rain on the 12th of May To the hospital room where she had to stay Five surgeries, Lord, You watched her bear the pain Learning to walk, finding sunshine in the rain She asks me, "Do you love me still?" looking in my eyes But "still" ain't the word for a love that never dies. **(Verse 3)** I told her, "Honey, I don't love you *still*... I love you *more*." More than the day we walked through that temple door Love is the sum of the suffering and the grace It’s the lines of character upon her beautiful face Now we watch the grand-babies, little waves upon the shore Thank you, God, that I get to love her more. **(Outro)** My Bevylove... my eternal friend I’ll thank You for her until the very end Yeah, she stumbled... And I fell. Amen.
Lyrics
Dear Lord, tonight I’m down here on my knees
Thinking back on 1989 and all the memories
You put me in that art class with a charcoal stick in hand
Next to a Vegas girl, the finest in the land
She was the Apple Blossom Princess, I was just a shy unknown
Thinking she didn't see me, feeling all alone
She thought I was a married creep, scared to make a move
But You had a plan, Lord, that we were bound to prove.
And I thank You that she stumbled, so I could fall
She tripped on the snow, but I heard the call
She had a bad knee and a list of what she wanted in a man
But she left that list behind when she took my trembling hand
Yeah, she stumbled, Lord, she lost her ground
But that’s exactly how this love was found
She stumbled, and I fell.
I remember the popcorn and the veggies on the plate
She showed up with cookies, sealing up our fate
We sat there sharing black licorice ice cream—a distinct taste
I thank You for the other John, for the time he let go to waste
He was a distraction, Lord, a boy who didn't see
That You were saving this angel just for me
She sat on my lap, waiting to be convinced
I kissed her three times, and I haven't stopped since.
From the Seattle Temple rain on the 12th of May
To the hospital room where she had to stay
Five surgeries, Lord, You watched her bear the pain
Learning to walk, finding sunshine in the rain
She asks me, "Do you love me still?" looking in my eyes
But "still" ain't the word for a love that never dies.
I told her, "Honey, I don't love you *still*... I love you *more*."
More than the day we walked through that temple door
Love is the sum of the suffering and the grace
It’s the lines of character upon her beautiful face
Now we watch the grand-babies, little waves upon the shore
Thank you, God, that I get to love her more.My Bevylove... my eternal friend
I’ll thank You for her until the very end
Yeah, she stumbled...
And I fell.
Amen.
