Gentle

melody

Oh,
listen
closely
to
my
heart
today
Joy,
my
beautiful
Joy
This
is
for
you
Before
the
dreams,
before
the
vision,
before
the
plans
we
made
God
knew
the
journey
and
the
battles
we
would
face
When
the
road
was
heavy
and
the
nights
were
long
You
stood
beside
me
and
reminded
me
to
be
strong
You
were
more
than
a
wife,
you
were
my
closest
friend
A
sister
in
faith
who
stayed
with
me
until
the
end
With
wisdom
and
kindness,
with
a
heart
full
of
grace
You
brought
light
and
love
into
our
family
space
God
gave
me
Joy,
a
blessing
I
will
always
treasure
A
love
that
grows
stronger
through
every
season
and
weather
My
wife,
my
friend,
my
rock
in
the
storm
In
your
arms,
darling,
I
am
safe
and
I
am
warm
God
gave
me
Joy,
it’
s
a
miracle
of
grace
I
see
heaven
shining
every
time
I
see
your
face
I
remember
the
silence
before
you
walked
through
the
door
I
didn't
know
what
I
was
missing
or
what
I
was
waiting
for
But
your
laughter
came
softly
like
a
morning
light
Turning
all
my
shadows
into
something
bright
You
nurture
the
vision
and
you
keep
us
grounded
deep
Protecting
the
promises
that
we
swore
we
would
keep
In
the
way
that
you
serve,
in
the
way
that
you
pray
You
wash
all
the
weariness
of
the
world
away
God
gave
me
Joy,
a
blessing
I
will
always
treasure
A
love
that
grows
stronger
through
every
season
and
weather
My
wife,
my
friend,
my
rock
in
the
storm
In
your
arms,
darling,
I
am
safe
and
I
am
warm
God
gave
me
Joy,
it’
s
a
miracle
of
grace
I
see
heaven
shining
every
time
I
see
your
face
Through
the
laughter
and
the
tears,
through
the
joy
and
the
pain
You
are
the
sunshine
that
follows
the
rain
I
count
every
blessing,
I
bow
on
my
knee
Thanking
the
Lord
for
the
life
that
we
see
Oh,
your
heart
is
a
garden
where
goodness
grows
More
than
a
flower,
more
than
a
rose
You
are
my
legacy,
my
heart,
my
soul
You
make
the
broken
pieces
feel
whole
God
gave
me
Joy,
a
blessing
I
will
always
treasure
A
love
that
grows
stronger
through
every
season
and
weather
My
wife,
my
friend,
my
rock
in
the
storm
In
your
arms,
darling,
I
am
safe
and
I
am
warm
God
gave
me
Joy,
it’
s
a
miracle
of
grace
I
see
heaven
shining
every
time
I
see
your
face
Yeah,
God
gave
me
Joy
My
partner,
my
life,
my
everything
I’
ll
always
love

Forever,
my
Joy (
