The Rock Of This Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some things start where you'd least expect A dive bar on a Valentine's night A mountain boy from Leadville And a California girl just passin’ by Something in his eyes said stay Something in his laugh felt right I knew before the evening ended This man was gonna change my life [Chorus] He's the rock, he's the joy, he's the faith in this home He's the arms that hold it all together Every morning, every night, he's the steady hand He loves us through any weather And we thank God for this man [Verse 2] The day I told him we were starting a family I braced myself to watch him run But he locked in without a question Said I'm ready, let's become The kind of parents kids can count on He was a father before they'd come [Chorus] He's the rock, he's the joy, he's the faith in this home He's the arms that hold it all together Every morning, every night, he's the steady hand He loves us through any weather And we thank God for this man [Bridge] He gave me what I never had Patience, softness, something real He healed my heart and taught me trust Showed our kids how love should feel [Verse 3] Now Greyson's eleven and Maxine's eight They've never known a day without A daddy at the games, the concerts Bedtime prayers through every season The kind of love that shows up when it counts He's building something for the Rutkey name A legacy of faith no one can doubt [Chorus] He's the rock, he's the joy, he's the faith in this home He's the arms that hold it all together Every morning, every night, he's the steady hand He loves us through any weather And we thank God for this man [Outro] Happy Father's Day to the one who stays We can't live without you, and we'll never have to
