This is a song for two of my favourite people
Starting a new chapter of their lives
I kinda wanted to find out if I was able
To write a song filled with good advice
You know your friends and family
We can't wait to see you thrive
Look to the Lord, and you will see
That he will be your guide
Well I don't have much experience in life, it would seem
And I don't know what to tell you you don't know already
But I read it in the Bible, and I truly believe
That the happiest of people live in simplicity
So just keep working with your hands, living lives of peace
And I'm confident that God will give you all that you need
You know the book of Jeremiah, chapter twenty-nine reads
Build a house, plant a garden, raise a family
What kind of friend would I be if I didn't tell you
I look up to you in so many ways?
You are a light, an example to those around you
Of humility, of kindness, and of faith
I remember, vividly, the day you got engaged
The news you told, so joyfully
It made my week, not just my day
Well I don't have much experience in life, it would seem
And I don't know what to tell you you don't know already
But I read it in the Bible, and I truly believe
That the happiest of people live in simplicity
So just keep working with your hands, living lives of peace
And I'm confident that God will give you all that you need
You know the book of Jeremiah, chapter twenty-nine reads
Build a house, plant a garden, raise a family
I got a bunch of people who love you
To write down some things that they wanted to say
So from everybody who loves you
I hope this brings another smile to your day
'Cuz there's no out in volleyball
And your smile is wider than the sea
When I can't find you at all, you're prob'ly in a tree
And I've got so many memories
Like sleeping on the trampoline
When you came to visit in the fall, sat by the back door drinking tea
Went sailing on a windless day
Paddled with our hands and feet
And when you play the burrito game you're liable to scream
And when we hiked the Giant, and, thanks to my injury
I couldn't walk, you didn't hesitate to carry me
And the first time that I met you
At a game of hockey
I thought you were really cool, and I wanted to be
Just like you, and I still do
There are many things about you
That demonstrate the way that Godly people aught to be
Like how much you show you care
And how you're always willing to share
And the way you're always there when there's a friend who is in need
And I could just go on and on
But life is better than a song
So go and make a million more memories
Well I don't have much experience in life, it would seem
And I don't know what to tell you you don't know already
But I read it in the Bible, and I truly believe
That the happiest of people live in simplicity
So just keep working with your hands, living lives of peace
And I'm confident that God will give you all that you need
You know the book of Jeremiah, chapter twenty-nine reads
Build a house, plant a garden, raise a family
You know the book of Jeremiah, chapter twenty-nine reads
Build a house, plant a garden, raise a family
You know the book of Jeremiah, chapter twenty-nine reads
Build a house, plant a garden, raise a family
