Durwood

Out in the yard beneath the morning sun

You wouldn't rest until the work was done

A gentle spirit and a helpful heart

That’s who you were, Daddy, from the start

Always caring, always stepping in

To lift me up when I was wearing thin

Oh, Durwood, you gave me a love so deep

A tender promise that my soul will keep

You were the best father a girl could ask for

Now you're standing on heaven's peaceful shore

I'll sing your name and thank the Lord above

For a daddy who was made of love

If it was broken, you knew what to do

There was no trouble too heavy for you

With patient hands, you'd make it work again

My guiding light, my father, and my friend

You gave your time to anyone in need

And showed me how to live through every deed

Oh, Durwood, you gave me a love so deep

A tender promise that my soul will keep

You were the best father a girl could ask for

Now you're standing on heaven's peaceful shore

I'll sing your name and thank the Lord above

For a daddy who was made of love

Now your tools are laid down, the garden is still

You're resting in glory on God's holy hill

I carry your kindness in all that I do

A grateful daughter, forever loving you

Oh, Durwood, you gave me a love so deep

A tender promise that my soul will keep

You were the best father a girl could ask for

Now you're standing on heaven's peaceful shore

I'll sing your name and thank the Lord above

For a daddy who was made of love
