Life
has
given
me
many
blessings,
But
among
the
greatest
of
them
all,
Was
the
day
God
placed
a
good
man
beside
me.
Not
a
perfect
man,
but
a
faithful
one.
Thank
You,
Jesus.
There
were
days
I
didn’
t
understand
myself,
Days
when
my
thoughts
were
restless,
Days
when
my
choices
were
uncertain,
Days
when
I
needed
direction
more
than
advice.
And
somehow,
Augustino
Nicodemo,
you
stayed,
Not
to
control
me,
not
to
judge
me,
But
to
walk
beside
me,
patiently,
Loving
me
in
the
light
and
the
shade.
Yes
Lord!
Augustino
Nicodemo,
the
man
God
chose
for
me,
A
heart
of
service,
a
spirit
set
so
free,
I
see
the
grace
of
heaven
in
the
way
you
hold
my
hand,
You
are
the
rock,
you
are
the
man,
The
man
God
chose
for
me.
Oh,
glory,
you’
re
the
man
God
chose
for
me.
I
watch
you
work,
I
watch
you
pray,
I
see
the
light
of
Christ
in
everything
you
say,
You
sacrifice
your
time
to
build
our
home,
With
you
by
my
side,
I
know
I’
m
never
alone.
It’
s
a
covenant
of
favor,
a
blessing
so
divine,
To
have
your
soul
entwined
with
mine,
Augustino,
my
brother,
my
lover,
my
friend,
Our
story
is
a
melody
that
will
never
end.
Praise
Him!
Augustino
Nicodemo,
the
man
God
chose
for
me,
A
heart
of
service,
a

set
so
free,
I
see
the
grace
of
heaven
in
the
way
you
hold
my
hand,
You
are
the
rock,
you
are
the
man,
The
man
God
chose
for
me.
Oh,
let
the
choir
rise
up
high!
We
thank
the
Lord
for
this
holy
tie,
Through
the
storms
and
through
the
rain,
He’
s
the
joy
that
heals
the
pain.
Augustino!
Augustino!
Built
on
a
foundation
that
will
never
fall,
He
is
the
answer
to
my
prayer
call!
So
here
is
my
tribute,
here
is
my
song,
To
the
one
who
stood
by
me,
steady
and
strong,
May
the
Lord
bless
your
steps
and
keep
your
heart,
May
we
never
be
a
moment
apart.
Augustino
Nicodemo,
honor
is
your
name,
In
the
fire
of
faith,
you
fan
the
flame.
Thank
You
Jesus!
