A custom just because song for George

[0:01] Okay, um, I'm just going to answer these questions just to help you decide whether or not you might want to do something like this. [0:10] My name is Charlene Fork and, um, I may I had them make this song for my husband of 46 years. [0:22] Um, he was totally unexpecting it and, um, it was a very moving one. [0:32] Anyway, um, I had seen these things on Facebook before. [0:37] Thought, well, those are really kind of cool, but I don't think I could do anything like that. [0:42] Um, and then I just followed the the uh thing on the link on Facebook and thought, well, let's give it a try. [0:53] Um, I got, I answered all their questions and, um, then I came to the price and I thought, uh, you know, how you do, you kind of talk yourself into or out of it. [1:07] And I thought, well, shoot, he's worth that amount of money, that's all right. [1:11] He, he can have this. [1:14] And then I'd completely forgotten that I'd sent it off and a couple weeks later it came and I looked, um, I listened to it. [1:24] And I immediately, I cry about everything, but I immediately started bawling because it said exactly what I have a hard time saying to this very precious man. [1:36] Anyway, um, so then I wasn't sure whether I should show it to him or not after all that, it was perfect, but I, I thought, I don't know, should I do it or not. [1:48] So I let a couple of my friends listen to it and their reaction was as priceless as his was. [1:56] Anyway, um, so then last night I said, George, I have something special for you. [2:03] And I said, do you want to do it tonight or do you want to do it tomorrow? [2:06] And he said, oh, let's do it tomorrow. [2:09] So I had to rest on it all night long. [2:11] He went out to work out this morning and then he came back. [2:15] And I sat him down and dropped where I could get him videoed. [2:19] And it his reaction was priceless. [2:24] It's exactly what I kind of expected him to do. [2:28] Uh, it's, it's a very humbling thing to be given a song about yourself. [2:35] Anyway, if you're thinking about it, you should just go ahead and do it because it's, it's really a beautiful thing to give somebody a gift like this. [2:48] Um, it means a lot. [2:51] So, just think about it and do it. [2:54] Okay, bye.

[Verse 1] Sunday morning, hymns were rising high Sunlight pouring through the stained glass sky At Gonzales First Baptist, I turned around In the very back row, a good man I found I felt deep down you were a man I could trust The uniform you wore spoke loud enough [Chorus] Thank you, Lord, for sending me this man Walking by my side with faith to stand George, your love is more than I deserve A gift of grace, a heart that loves to serve [Verse 2] We packed our lives in boxes, state to state New roads, new towns, but we never lost our faith A wild and crazy ride, but oh, what fun Every new address, we faced it as one You stood beside me steady through the years You kept our home secure and calmed my fears [Chorus] Thank you, Lord, for sending me this man Walking by my side with faith to stand George, your love is more than I deserve A gift of grace, a heart that loves to serve [Bridge] When I was weak, you were strong When I was lost, you led me on You worked so hard to keep us safe Your faithful heart, a gift of grace [Verse 3] Now the years are adding silver to our hair New challenges are waiting for us there But I'm not afraid of what the road may hold Your trust in the Lord will guide us as we grow old Whatever comes, we'll face it hand in hand Together, always, just as God has planned [Chorus] Thank you, Lord, for sending me this man Walking by my side with faith to stand George, your love is more than I deserve A gift of grace, a heart that loves to serve [Outro] Thank you, Lord, for this faithful man For a love I'll never fully understand
