For fifty years you've sailed aboard
a ship of wedded love
You set your rudder for The Lord
your compass on The Dove
You gave your boys the course to stay
your wisdom and advice
and when this journey ends one day
we'll land in Paradise
From shared I do's so long ago
to children at your feet
to lean times when you didn't know
just how you'd make ends meet
but as the years went by
your love would never fade away
it still grows stronger with each passing day
If only there could be a way
a proper gift somewhere
But we could never near repay
your years of love and care
The legacy you built
was not based on an earthly goal
but on eternal treasures of the heart and soul
