Album: Shades Of Grace
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 word '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
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 wouldnt not see eye to eye
Still...
He was a rock
He was the one the boy ran to
Cause when he said the words '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 word '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 is the one that I run to
Cause when he says the word 'forever'
I know His word is true
He isn't a saint
He's the one the saints bow to
Come to the Man
The Man of His word
