They started out far away from the lights and the motion
Dust blowin', wheat growin', who'd of thought they'd ever get the notion
To let God lead them onwards, far beyond the homes that first showed them life
But humble beginnings often lead to holy ends

Elwyn and Marilyn, we're here for you
50 years, still goin' strong - seems too good to be true
But half a century's just a beginning
for the One who makes all things new
Elwyn and Marilyn: we want to be like you

Day by day, step by step, side by side, never straying
Holding hands through all pain and joy, looking forward and upward staying
the course that God put them on, navigating through all the twists and turns
Knowing that if they fell God would always lift them up

Men and Taciturn Mennnonites
We're here for you

Altos
Elwyn and Marilyn we're singing this song for you
we'll keep on singing it 'til we're through
All the world around you slips and slides changing but
two looks at you show that your love is true

Sopranos
God made a way
God led the way
