Chose to Stay

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some roads are smooth and some are rough, And some days love ain't quite enough. But there's a hand I always find, Steady, patient, strong, and kind. Through every storm that came our way, You chose to stand, you chose to stay. [Chorus] Oh Jim, you're my rock, my steady ground, The truest love I ever found. Through faith and grace we made it here, Year after blessed year. My best friend, my forever love, A gift sent down from up above. [Verse 2] That summer day in '96, Two hearts and hopes we softly mixed. The bumps we hit, we let them go, Forgave, forgot, and watched love grow. You work so hard, you always provide, A quiet strength there by my side. [Chorus] Oh Jim, you're my rock, my steady ground, The truest love I ever found. Through faith and grace we made it here, Year after blessed year. My best friend, my forever love, A gift sent down from up above. [Bridge] When life gets heavy on my mind, You calm the waves, you're always kind. Thank you, Lord, for what You gave — This gentle man, so good, so brave. [Verse 3] No man could ever measure up, You fill my heart, you fill my cup. For all you do and all you are, You're my north, my guiding star. I'd choose you every single time, My forever love, my dearest Jim. [Chorus] Oh Jim, you're my rock, my steady ground, The truest love I ever found. Through faith and grace we made it here, Year after blessed year. [Outro] Just because, I want you to know — I'd walk this life with you and go Wherever love may lead us on, My forever, my dawn.
