Herbert

Herbert, you walk with a quiet grace

A peacemaker's heart in a heavy place

You listen close with a patient ear

Understanding the feelings I hold dear

You pour out wisdom, you pour out truth

Guiding my steps from the days of my youth

I am so proud to be your daughter

So proud to call you my Dad

You raised me up like I was your own

The sweetest blessing I've ever had

You show me what faith is supposed to be

A man who loves God for the world to see

I think about that Christmas day

When every restaurant was closed away

We pulled up to Whataburger, just us there

With fast food wrappers and joy in the air

We laughed so hard we could barely breathe

The simplest moments are all that we need

Your loving spirit made everything bright

And filled up the room with a holy light

I am so proud to be your daughter

So proud to call you my Dad

You raised me up like I was your own

The sweetest blessing I've ever had

You show me what faith is supposed to be

A man who loves God for the world to see

You didn't have to, but you chose to care

To raise me in love and to keep me in prayer

A living testament of heaven above

Showing me daily the meaning of love

Herbert, I thank you for holding my hand

A righteous, devoted, and God-fearing man

I am so proud to be your daughter

So proud to call you my Dad

You raised me up like I was your own

The sweetest blessing I've ever had

You show me what faith is supposed to be

A man who loves God for the world to see

Oh, Herbert, I'm proud to call you my Dad
