Thirteen Years of You

Intro

On 12/12/12 at 12:12…

Time felt like it held its breath—

Two hearts speaking one pure vow

To love in life and death.

And every moment since that day

Has been another “yes” to you.

Verse

Thirteen years of waking up

To the safest place I’ve known,

A comforting hand, a tender heart,

A love that feels like home.

We’ve walked through fire, stood by His grace,

And you held me through it all—

Brian you brought healing to the broken parts

I thought would always fall.

Pre-chorus

And every day I see

How God keeps using you

To grow the best in me.

Chorus

You’re my laughter, you’re my shelter,

You’re the song my heart remembers.

Strong and gentle, brave and forgiving,

With a love that’s unrelenting.

In the highs and in the tears,

You’re my gift through all these years—

Oh, I thank God for loving me

Through thirteen years of you.

Verse

We’ve poured our lives in others,

Side by side we’ve always stood.

You’ve led with passion, lived with joy,

Always choosing what is good.

And watching you with our grands,

Each one a blessing shining bright,

I fall in love with you again

In every little moment of our lives.

Pre-chorus

Your humor lights the dark,

Your tenderness mends the cracks,

You CHARITY me with your whole heart.

Chorus

You’re my laughter, you’re my shelter,

You’re the song my heart remembers.

Strong and gentle, brave and forgiving,

With a love that’s unrelenting.

In the highs and in the tears,

You’re my gift through all these years—

Oh, I thank God for loving me

Through thirteen years of you.

Bridge

And if I could go back,

I’d choose you again,

Through every season,

Through every “amen.”

You’re my miracle, my comfort,

My forever-best friend—

Your love keeps leading me home.

Chorus

You’re my laughter, you’re my shelter,

You’re the song my soul remembers.

Strong and passionate, always faithful,

Overflowing, remaining grateful.

Thirteen years and still it’s true—

Every day I choose you.

Oh, I thank God for loving me

Through thirteen years of you.
