The Swan on the Water

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The morning light comes soft and slow, Across the water calm and low. I watch the swan so smooth and free, And think of all you've been to me. A steady hand, a faithful heart, A gift of grace right from the start. [Chorus] Chad, you're my rock, my steady ground, The truest love I've ever found. You gave me home, you gave me sky, You love your Lord and you live it high. And I love you bigger than the sky. [Verse 2] They say it comes so easy, son, They never see how hard you've run. Like feet that paddle out of sight, You carry weight and hold it tight. You built your life with sweat and prayer, And still you'll go most anywhere. [Chorus] Chad, you're my rock, my steady ground, The truest love I've ever found. You gave me home, you gave me sky, You love your Lord and you live it high. And I love you bigger than the sky. [Bridge] Since your father slipped away, You've called on me most every day. You brought me here to Benton ground, And built me walls where love is found. [Verse 3] Two little boys call you their "Grumps," But grumpy's not a thing you are. You're every tender part they know, The brightest and the closest star. So on this day that you were born, I thank the Lord each brand new morn. [Chorus] Chad, you're my rock, my steady ground, The truest love I've ever found. You gave me home, you gave me sky, You love your Lord and you live it high. And I love you bigger than the sky. [Outro] Happy birthday, precious one, My steady, faithful, given son. I love you bigger than the sky.
