Lester

I still remember the dust on that ride

Four wheels spinning, sitting right by your side

I looked at you, Lester, and I finally knew

My heart would be safe in the keeping of you

You work with your hands from the dawn to the dusk

A strong, steady pillar providing for us

Oh, the world gets quiet when we're out on the lake

Just you and me and the memories we make

I love the sweet peace that we find on the water

With my caring husband, my rock and my shelter

Through the joy and the tears, you're the one I lean on

With you by my side, all the shadows are gone

We walked through a valley so heavy and deep

Two precious twin boys that we couldn't keep

We gave them to heaven before they were born

And held onto each other to weather the storm

Then the Lord looked down and the dark clouds gave way

Our sweet rainbow Erin brought the sun back that day

Oh, the world gets quiet when we're out on the lake

Just you and me and the memories we make

I love the sweet peace that we find on the water

With my caring husband, my rock and my shelter

Through the joy and the tears, you're the one I lean on

With you by my side, all the shadows are gone

When Sunday morning rolls around

We hear that old familiar sound

Sitting in the pew, singing hymns of grace

I see the love of the Lord in your face

A hardworking man with a gentle soul

You took this broken life and helped make it whole

Oh, the world gets quiet when we're out on the lake

Just you and me and the memories we make

I love the sweet peace that we find on the water

With my caring husband, my rock and my shelter

Through the joy and the tears, you're the one I lean on

Thank God for you, Lester, my heart's true home
