Dannel

[Verse 1]
Sixty-five years of walking on
Through every valley, every dawn
A morning light, a whispered prayer
The kind of love that's always there
Some carry storms the world can't see
And still they rise so faithfully

[Chorus]
"I can do it," was your quiet song
Dannel, with Jesus you've been strong
Through every trial, through every tear
His hand has held you, year to year
A heart of courage, faith so true
There's grace in all the things you do

[Verse 2]
At sixteen, when the shadow came
It took a part but not your flame
You stood back up, you learned to run
Toward the light, toward the Son
Four little ones you taught to pray
And homeschooled every wondrous day

[Chorus]
"I can do it," was your quiet song
Dannel, with Jesus you've been strong
Through every trial, through every tear
His hand has held you, year to year
A heart of courage, faith so true
There's grace in all the things you do

[Bridge]
You told them of your deepest pain
And planted faith like gentle rain
Five grandkids call you GG dear
Their laughter echoes, God is near

[Verse 3]
So here's to years still yet to come
When work is done, when day is won
Retired and free with those we love
Beneath the blessings from above
You love so fierce, you make us laugh
Dannel, you're God's own photograph

[Chorus]
"I can do it," is still your song
With Christ beside you, you've grown strong
Through every trial, through every tear
He's brought you home another year

[Outro]
Happy birthday, love of Jesse's life
A mother, GG, faithful wife
