Shepherd Underneath the Sky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a man with a steady hand Walking gentle through this land Eighty years of faithful grace Kindness shining on his face A pastor's heart, a father true Showing love in all he'd do [Chorus] Oh, glory, glory, lift him high A shepherd underneath the sky Faith and family, love so wide With the Lord forever by his side Sing it loud, sing it true Mike Parker, this song's for you [Verse 2] Three sweet children call him Dad Two by blood, one by the heart he had Heather, Sheila, Todd stand tall His love made room enough for all And Jodi, oh his guiding star Showed the girls what real love are [Chorus] Oh, glory, glory, lift him high A shepherd underneath the sky Faith and family, love so wide With the Lord forever by his side Sing it loud, sing it true Mike Parker, this song's for you [Bridge] Elvis on the radio, he used to dance Twirling Jodi, every chance Now his knees may move more slow But oh, his spirit still does glow [Verse 3] Lunches shared with Josh and Andy Granddad's wisdom, sweet as candy Saint Louis pride runs through the line Todd and Sheila, Izzy shine Counselor, friend, a steady flame Countless lives still bless his name [Chorus] Oh, glory, glory, lift him high A shepherd underneath the sky Faith and family, love so wide With the Lord forever by his side Sing it loud, sing it true Mike Parker, this song's for you [Outro] Happy birthday, faithful one Eighty years of grace well done Mike, your love still lights the way Hallelujah, holy day
