Hands That Build, A Heart That Stays

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people walk this earth so light They give and give with all their might Hands that build and hands that mend A heart that loved until the end A soldier's courage, a gentle soul Faith in God that made him whole [Chorus] Oh, he was grace, he was the strong one A light that keeps on shining on Through every tear, I hear him say "Let's hit the bricks" and find our way His love lives on, it carries me A man of faith, a legacy [Verse 2] Twenty years ago one night A birthday party, stars were bright Across the room he caught my eye And Wanda knew, she knew just why He made me feel so loved and safe A craftsman's hands, a Christian's faith Christmas morning was his day He'd light the house up every way [Chorus] Oh, he was grace, he was the strong one A light that keeps on shining on Through every tear, I hear him say "Let's hit the bricks" and find our way His love lives on, it carries me A man of faith, a legacy [Bridge] I miss that laughter filling every room I close my eyes and feel it break through the gloom More than a husband, he was my dearest friend And love like that, Wanda, it never ends [Verse 3] I still remember summer nights Those long road trips and neon lights Stopping somewhere down the road Two scoops of sweetness, hearts that glowed He gave more than he ever took A life of love in every look So Wanda, hold your head up high His strength is yours beneath this sky [Chorus] Oh, he was grace, he was the strong one A light that keeps on shining on Through every tear, I hear him say "Let's hit the bricks" and find our way His love lives on, it carries me A man of faith, a legacy [Outro] So let's hit the bricks one more time, my love I'll carry you with me till I'm home above
