Seven Years and One Month

Verse 1

Seven years

Since the vows were spoken

Seven years

Seven years

Building this home

Brick by heavy brick

I watch you

Tired eyes

Still glowing

You lean in close

The cradle stays warm

Quiet

So quiet

Chorus

Anna Marie

You are the strength of my life

Anna Marie

Seven years as my wife

Now we hold the promise

Now we see the prize

Joyanne Noelle

With the morning in her eyes

We are blessed

Beyond the measure of the earth

We are blessed

In the beauty of her birth

Post-Chorus

Oh Joyanne

Growing so fast

Little Joyanne

Love that will last

La la la

La la la

Verse 2

One month

Thirty days of wonder

Coos and clicks

Sweet small sounds

Your tiny fingers find my thumb

Grip tight

Never let go

Anna

Look at her face

Changing

Day after day

God gave us more than we asked

He answered

He stayed

Grace upon grace

In this nursery

Faith is a person

Chorus

Anna Marie

You are the strength of my life

Anna Marie

Seven years as my wife

Now we hold the promise

Now we see the prize

Joyanne Noelle

With the morning in her eyes

We are blessed

Beyond the measure of the earth

We are blessed

In the beauty of her birth

Bridge

From the start to the finish

He provided

From the prayer to the cradle

He provided

From the man to the father

He provided

We look at her and see His hand

We look at her and understand

Anna

It was worth the wait

It was always you

Chorus

Anna Marie

You are the strength of my life

Anna Marie

Seven years as my wife

Now we hold the promise

Now we see the prize

Joyanne Noelle

With the morning in her eyes

We are blessed

Beyond the measure of the earth

We are blessed

In the beauty of her birth

Outro

One month old

Joyanne Noelle

Our little girl

Safe and sound

Sleep now

Sleep

Anna Marie

I love you

I love you

I love you
