A Rose in a Coke Can

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Side of the road, a summer day Dust on my boots, sign in my hand A cold Coke offered, sunglasses low A quiet hello, the start of a plan Hours on the phone like I'd known him for years A rose in a Coke can, holding back tears [Chorus] Forty years of holding on Through every storm, through every dawn Faith that carried, love that stayed Every promise that we made Man of integrity, love of my life Eternal companion, man of God [Verse 2] A dusty red Mustang, lunch for two He told his best friend, "She's the one I'll choose" We knelt in the temple, sealed for all time Our children beside us, your hand holding mine Through the rough and the rising, you never let go Brown eyes still finding me, steady and slow [Chorus] Forty years of holding on Through every storm, through every dawn Faith that carried, love that stayed Every promise that we made Man of integrity, love of my life Eternal companion, man of God [Bridge] Sixteen hours just to hold me one day Driving through darkness to carry us through Glenn, my "Hi, you," my answered prayer There's no one on earth quite like you [Verse 3] You faced the fight with a quiet grace Humble and strong, never a complaint A soldier, a father, a servant who kneels Jules and her Glenn, and the love that is real A mission ahead, still walking by faith Hand in his hand, all of our days [Chorus] Forty years of holding on Through every storm, through every dawn Faith that carried, love that stayed Every promise that we made Man of integrity, love of my life Eternal companion, man of God [Outro] Hi, you — my Glenn, my forever true Sealed in His love, just me and you
