In the final days of summer, 1944,
|
with just a preacher and a witness and a humble band of gold,
|
They set out to find the future, not a penny to their name.
|
Still with all the unknown danger, she knew her heart was safe,
|
cause..
|
|
He was a rock
|
He was the one that she ran to
|
And when he said the words "Forever"
|
She knew that it was true
|
|
He wasn't a saint
|
But he was saint enough for her
|
He was a man,
|
A man of his word.
|
|
In the final days of summer, 1964,
|
found a family undivided, divided on the war.
|
Turning son against his elder, debating wrong and right,
|
He was the image of his father, though they would not see eye to eye,
|
still...
|
|
He was a rock
|
He was the one the boy ran to
|
Cause' when he said the word "I Love You"
|
He knew that it was true
|
|
And even in the worst of storms
|
There was an anchor in his world
|
He was a man,
|
A man of his word.
|
|
Clutching a strong belief in the bible,
|
through all the sweetness in his life, and the bitterness of war,
|
He knew what God had made him for...
|
|
In the final days of summer, 1994,
|
surrounded by his family and the presence of the Lord.
|
He set out to find his future, the one he'd always known,
|
He didn't want to leave his family, but he knew deep in his soul,
|
The lord had called him home...
|
cause...
|
|
He was the rock
|
He was the one the man ran to
|
And when he said the words "forever"
|
He knew that it was true
|
|
He wasn't a saint
|
he is the one the saints bow to
|
Receiving a man,
|
A man of his word...
|
|
He was the one that I ran to
|
Cause when he says the word "forever"
|
I know his word is true
|
|
He isn't a saint
|
He is the one the saints bow to
|
Come to the man
|
The man of his word.
