Thank You Lord For Decades Passed

Thank you Lord for decades passed
Love between my wife and me
When we wed  the die was cast
Now's over  half a century 

Vows we said were set in stone
Rings on fingers stayed in place
One together, not alone
We met through your good grace

Our love grew deeper day by day
To provide, you made us able
We always had a place to stay
Always food upon the table

Family was always there
Friends were not in short supply
The life you gave us more than fair
I praise you now, don't ask you why?

 You took my Barb to be with you
Her time on Earth came to an end
Her pain and strife are gone too
On that, I know I may depend

On the cross you gave your son
He paved her way to Heaven's door
She believed, He was the one
She'll  be there forevermore

When my time on Earth is done
I will hold her once again
Thank you Lord for Jesus
Who has saved me from my sin

Amen
