Man After God's Own Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] River Valley sunset, dust upon the road That's where our story started, though we didn't know A year and a half later, New Year's Eve came round A mutual friend, a crowded room, and love was finally found [Chorus] He's a man after God's own heart Steady hands, a faithful soul Married in October, '88 Built a love that's pure as gold Through every season, every storm His devotion still holds true Thank the Lord above for you [Verse 2] He rode them bulls 'til our boy came along Hung up his rope but he never lost the strong Hard workin', patient, gentle through the years A daddy who showed up, who wiped away the tears [Chorus] He's a man after God's own heart Steady hands, a faithful soul Married in October, '88 Built a love that's pure as gold Through every season, every storm His devotion still holds true Thank the Lord above for you [Bridge] Now two little grandsons climb up on his knee Papaw's lap's the safest place that any heart could be [Verse 3] Oh Tom, I can't imagine one day without you here The son, the daughter, all the grandkids that we hold so dear You're the quiet kind of strong, the answered prayer I plead A father, a husband, everything we'll ever need [Chorus] Tom, you're a man after God's own heart Steady hands, a faithful soul Built this family stone by stone Made our house a home Through every season, every storm Your devotion still holds true Happy Father's Day to you [Outro] Oh Tom, my forever, my answered prayer Thank God for the love we share
