No words could ever once describe,
   just what I'm going through;
Unbearable, despicable,
    this pain of losing you.

You've been a part of more than life,
   my one and only love;
Now looking down on me today
   from Heaven's gates above.

Although I miss you more right now,
   than ever once before;
I know we'll meet again real soon,
   just inside Heaven's door.

But as for now I'll bear the pain,
   of scars inside my heart;
An emptiness that can't be filled,
   so long as we're apart.

Dear Lord, I come to you right now,
   I'm down on bended knee;
To see if we can barter up a deal,
   a trade 'twixt You and me.

I heard you're building me a Home,
   a mansion in the skies;
A harp and crown to call my own,
   no sooner than I die.

Well heres the deal, I'll never feel,
   real comfy in those digs,
So if I can, I'll spill the beans,
   'bout my dream place to live.

I'd start with just a smidge 'o land,
   tucked yonder in the hills;
A cabin with a front porch swing,
   no reoccurring bills.

I'll trade majestic gates of pearl,
   and shiny streets of gold;
For picket fence with squeaky gates,
   and worn out muddy road.

I'd take a hat and guitar pick,
   no harp or crown for me;
A big 'ole oak with hammock swung,
   now that would glory be.

Now this I ask in Heaven's name,
   I leave it in Your hands;
It's You who made me who I am,
   a simple country man!

It's been too long since moment when,
   I said those precious words;
To think I don't still love you girl,
   now that's more like absurd.

I'm not the best at being all,
   the perfect man should be;
But faithful, true, forever strong,
   now that would be more me.

I may not tell you everyday,
   just everything you mean,
But girl I say for once and all,
   you're everything I've dreamed.

So if there's once you question us -
   in fact, just anytime;
Just ask me then, I'll tell you this,
    to give you peace mind:

My precious girl, I love you more,
   than ANY words can say;
You've changed my world, with just your love,
   by you I'm still amazed!

You've left me here all by myself,
    to find a way to grieve;
It shreds my heart to think right now,
   you're happy without me.

I feel at times like nothings real,
   so hard to just move on;
Each breathe I take is crushing me,
   so heartbroke and alone.

I know you're happy Home sweet Home,
   just strollin' Heaven's shore;
But living here without you now,
   breeds pain I can't ignore.

I'm sorry that I feel this way,
   as sad as one can be;
Still tryin' to deal with one small thing-
   you're happy without me.

I tell you this my truest love,
   if ever comes one time;
You question this 'ole heart of mine,
    or have no peace of mind -

Remember this, I'm sayin' now,
   I'm still your biggest fan;
The one that's got your back today,
   who's proud to be your man.

I'll hold you close till end of time,
   I'll breathe for you each day;
Hold tightly to this love we have,
   to take your fears away.

I'm here right now, I'll never leave,
   you're ALL I'll ever need;
Not many once could find true love,
   like love 'twixt you and me!

It's time in life we live today,
   we take a bit of pause;
To reminisce the days gone past,
   the pain we may have caused.

We all took roads or different paths,
   few narrow, far more broad;
But chose to find our way through life,
   by traveling road we trod.

We've left a trail of shattered hearts,
   of loved ones in our wake;
The bitter taste of self defeat,
   from choices that we make.

So every day from here on out,
  let's change the way we've lived;
To find ourselves, if just once more,
   remembering only this:

There's young ones needing us today,
    they're hurting oh so bad;
To know they mean the most to you,
   to know you love them dad!
  
So take a moment every day,
   to let them know you care;
Can't change the past mistakes you made,
   but love you can repair.

I tell you 'bout this man I know,
   the strongest man on earth;
The richest man to live this life,
   his stock in Heaven's worth.

He lives his life to be the man,
   My God would have him be;
To stand for Christ and preach His Word,
    to sinners just like me.

He's not real tall, soft spoken sort,
   and yes, he lacks some hair;
But stands his ground when other's won't,
    so try him if you dare!

He stands for right to battle wrong,
   the Bible is his sword;
A superhero some may say,
   though I say he's much more.

He's good to mom, a loyal spouse,
   best friend one soul could have;
A Christian man, a Godly man,
   this man I call my dad!
