My Beautiful Angel, Mary

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was prayin' on my knees for years Askin' God to calm my wandering fears Then our pastor said there's someone you should meet And my heart just knew before my eyes could see [Chorus] You're the answer to my prayer My beautiful angel standing there Every morning, every night You make this broken world feel right And I thank God above For sending me this love [Verse 2] I was forty-eight, you were thirty-nine Neither one had walked that aisle in time But within six months I gave you my last name Mary, nothing in this life has been the same When the heartbreak came and shook us to the core Two little lives we never got to hold We clung to faith and didn't let it go [Chorus] You're the answer to my prayer My beautiful angel standing there Every morning, every night You make this broken world feel right And I thank God above For sending me this love [Bridge] Then He gave us a baby boy And nine months later our baby girl Mary, you held this family together Through the storms and through the joy [Verse 3] You're the rock, the strength, the steady hand The greatest mother that I know Wherever we may be, wherever we may stand By your side's the only place I wanna go Mary, you're the most precious blessing I have found More beautiful than words could ever say I couldn't live a single day Without your love to show the way [Chorus] You're the answer to my prayer My beautiful angel standing there Every morning, every night You make this broken world feel right And I thank God above For sending me this love [Outro] Mary, I thank God above For sending me this love
