The Man You Gave Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a story that was written Long before we knew the start Two hearts under the same heaven Held together, miles apart By a faith that wouldn't waver And a love that always stayed [Chorus] Thank God for the man You gave us For the steady hands that pray For the shelter and the laughter And the home he's built each day Every sacrifice, every prayer he prays We see it all, and we're so grateful [Verse 2] Near the Ark we first crossed pathways Three hours late, but you still stayed From the Netherlands to Denmark Every mile, a promise made By the Eiffel, you knelt down And our forever was on its way [Chorus] Thank God for the man You gave us For the steady hands that pray Dirk, you're the rhythm of our story The love that lights our way Every sacrifice, every prayer you pray We see it all, and we're so grateful [Bridge] When the waiting felt so heavy And the answer wouldn't come God was writing every chapter For Rio and our little one [Verse 3] Now in Herkingen, our island Where the laughter fills each room Daddy fixes, daddy carries Daddy turns the gray to blue Dirk, you're our shelter, you're our blessing You're the answer we still pray for too [Chorus] Thank God for the man You gave us For the steady hands that pray Dirk, you're the rhythm of our story The love that lights our way Every sacrifice, every prayer you pray We see it all, and we're so grateful [Outro] What God joined, no one can sever Happy Father's Day, my love, forever
