Happy birthday, precious man,
well, another year's gone by!
I can't believe it's time again,
these days, time seems to fly!

I thank our Father every day
for the love that we have shared
for you making sure to show me
how much you really care.

...for the way you fold around me
when I go to sleep at night;
for your arms that wrap around me
and hold me extra tight.

...for the ready smile you have for me,
and your words of sound advice;
for the way you often make me laugh,
and how you make my life so nice.

...for the way that you have shown me
what it means to be in love...
you're such a precious, vital gift
from the Lord God up above!

...for the way you tell the world
just how much you love your wife;
and how much my world has changed
since you came into my life.

But most of all I'm thankful
that you're Born Again like me,
so that I know with certainty
you'll be with me eternally!

Happy birthday, sweetheart, with my eternal love!

So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, because we are members of His body.
(Ephesians 5:28-30)
