Live and Love

I only wish to live and love
Accepting blessings from above

Loving things that are adored
Like the love of the Lord

I gave him control of my life
He gave me a wonderful wife

She gave me the faith to see
I reckon all is as it should be

They gave me to calm the wild
A very beautiful loving child

All in all it’s clear to see
The Lord loves our family
