I was there when you were formed|Long before the day you were born|When they raised you up and cut the cord|And your mama said, “Let’s thank the Lord”|And I said, “It’s my pleasure, we’re just getting started”|I’ve been there as you’re growing up|From a little bitty child to a big adult|Through the good and bad and uncertainty|There has always been one guarantee|You are precious in my sight|You are a treasure|I will strengthen help and comfort you|And always keep you guarded|Through what has been or what will come|We’re just getting started|There is no depth or height|Not even death or life|Can keep you from my love|Everything I do for you is wholehearted|One day is a thousand years|Time is more than it appears|Let me make it very clear|That we are just we are just we are just getting started|I’ll be there when you make your way|To the Promised Land on that sweet day|I will raise you up the one I adore|As the angels sing, “Let’s praise the Lord”|And I’ll say, “it’s my pleasure|And another thing|We’re just getting started”|I hope you know I love you so no matter where you go|When you breathe the air know I am there|I hope you see this mystery is for eternity|There is no stop and start we have one heart|I hope you find this peace of mind is like no other kind|I make you whole, lover of your soul
