For Bill & Carole Young
Verse
Like an old familiar tune
That brings peace every time I hear it
Your melody is like that to me
Precious…
Like and old familiar friend
Who has walked with me along the journey
Your love for me is like that to me
Precious…
Chorus
Your great love for me
Is wide as it is deep
As far as I can see
But Greater
The greatest mystery
Your life laid down for me
As grand as grand can be
And precious
Verse
Like an old familiar chair
Where I sit and my rest comes easy
Your love for me is like that to me
Precious…
Like a winter’s warming fire
That drives away the lonely cold and darkness
Your love for me is like that to me
Precious…
Chorus
Your great love for me
Is wide as it is deep
As far as I can see
But Greater
The greatest mystery
Your life laid down for me
As grand as grand can be
And precious
Verse
Like a favorite sweater worn
That completely wraps its arms around me
Your love for me is like that to me
So precious…
Like a favorite memory
When recalled, leaves me feeling better
Your love for me is like that to me
So precious…
