The Rock of Ellerbe

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of glory In a man who shows up true Steady hands and gentle spirit In the simple things he'll do From a small town down in Ellerbe To the road that led to you [Chorus] Oh, thank the Lord above For this rock, for this love For the strength that holds us tight For the joy, for the light Hallelujah, hear me say We are blessed in every way [Verse 2] At the Palms on Camp Hansen Two Marines, a destined start "How you been," a simple question That would open up my heart Then Tijuana, then to Vegas Six long hours, but never apart [Chorus] Oh, thank the Lord above For this rock, for this love For the strength that holds us tight For the joy, for the light Hallelujah, hear me say We are blessed in every way [Bridge] Derrick, you stepped in for Vanessa Three more boys, the cleats, the field A soccer dad, a faithful father Every promise still revealed [Verse 3] Happy Father's Day, husband We love our Marsoc Marine Through 19 years of choosing You're still everything I dreamed Derrick, thank you for the shelter For the love that runs so deep [Chorus] Oh, thank the Lord above For this rock, for this love For the strength that holds us tight For the joy, for the light Hallelujah, hear me say We are blessed in every way [Outro] Derrick, raise your hands and praise Him For this beautiful life we've made Amen, amen, forever Happy Father's Day
