Verse 1
There are moments only love remembers clearly, In candles glowing on the table, In the small things heaven notices, In the love that made a home. This birthday (80th / elder milestone) feels like a doorway, Not just a date we pass through. I thank God for all the mercy That has gently gathered you.
Chorus
So here is I Shall Not Want, A blessing wrapped in melody. Psalm 23:1 is the reference near it, Pointing back to God's own peace. For every prayer and every morning, For every road He brought you through, I give thanks with all my heart today: Grace keeps shining here in you.
Verse 2
There is joy in family voices, There is faith in how you stay. There is kindness in the ordinary That has marked you day by day. When the plans were bright and easy, When the path had turns unknown, Love kept finding words of blessing, And God kept making goodness known.
Chorus
So here is I Shall Not Want, A blessing wrapped in melody. Psalm 23:1 is the reference near it, Pointing back to God's own peace. For every prayer and every morning, For every road He brought you through, I give thanks with all my heart today: Grace keeps shining here in you.
