Still Your Hired Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two little kids at a fellowship hall, Nine and ten, God had a plan for us all, Ninety miles between your town and mine, But we'd meet at camp, and we'd meet in the divine. At fifteen and sixteen, you learned to drive, And something holy came alive. [Chorus] Oh Sam, my faithful, my forever man, You took my hand and walked God's plan, Sixty-three years and I'd do it again, Through the storms and the sun, through thick and thin. Happy birthday to the love of my life, Still your girl, still your wife. [Verse 2] Married young at seventeen and eighteen, Built a life on faith, we didn't wait, You worked those fields from dawn to falling dark, I was your hired hand, you held my heart. Cheri, Micki, Audra, and Macy our son, Oh, look at all the love we've done. [Chorus] Oh Sam, my faithful, my forever man, You took my hand and walked God's plan, Sixty-three years and I'd do it again, Through the storms and the sun, through thick and thin. Happy birthday to the love of my life, Still your girl, still your wife. [Bridge] You buy the land, you count every dime, You push my buttons half the time, But every Sunday you helped me feed our own, No sweeter blessing have I known. [Verse 3] Some years were hard, some the very best, But God above has kept us surely blessed, And when this earthly farm is finally done, Heaven's our home when our day is won. Hand in hand we'll walk that golden shore, Loving you forevermore. [Outro] Happy birthday, my faithful friend, I'll love you, Sam, until the end.
