Twenty-Four Years of Grace

Intro

This is dedicated to my wife, Sweetie — twenty-four years of grace.

Through joy and tears, seven beautiful children — two resting in Heaven,

sixteen grandchildren, and three great-grands… we still stand by God’s mercy and love.

Verse

From the day I said “I do,” You were Heaven’s sign of favor,

Through every storm and sunshine, God kept us in His labor.

Sweetie, you’re my melody, my peace through every test,

Even when we stumbled, His mercy gave us rest.

Chorus

Twenty-four years of grace, Lord, keep her near my heart,

Let Your love restore what’s torn apart.

You joined what no one can erase,

Sweetie, You and I — twenty-four years of grace.

Verse

I wasn’t perfect, but I prayed through every tear,

God, forgive my failings, let my heart be clear.

Build a hedge around her, wrap her in Your arms,

Let our love grow stronger through the battle and the calm.

Chorus

Twenty-four years of grace, Lord, keep her near my heart,

Let Your love restore what’s torn apart.

You joined what no one can erase,

Sweetie, You and I — twenty-four years of grace.

Bridge

“Create in me a clean heart, O God,

And renew a right spirit within me.

Restore unto me the joy of our salvation,

And uphold me with Your steadfast love.”

Chorus

Twenty-four years of grace, Your love still lights our way,

From glory to glory, we’ll walk another day.

Sweetie, my forever, under Heaven’s embrace,

We’re living proof — of twenty-four years of grace.

Outro

“To God be the glory… for every year, every tear, and every grace.”
