Patrick

You always had a patient heart, so gentle and so kind

The most loving husband that a soul could ever find

You kept your brilliant sense of humor, a joke to ease the pain

Even when the shadows fell and the hardest seasons came

Oh, Patrick, not a single day goes by

Without a tear of longing in my eye

I wish that you were sitting right here next to me

Singing out the worship songs that set your spirit free

I miss your laugh, I miss your warm embrace

But I know you're worshipping in a holy place

Twice the heavy burden came in just a few short years

You faced the bitter cancer and you fought through all the fears

You never let it steal your joy, you smiled through the fight

Holding onto faith and love, a beacon in the night

Oh, Patrick, not a single day goes by

Without a tear of longing in my eye

I wish that you were sitting right here next to me

Singing out the worship songs that set your spirit free

I miss your laugh, I miss your warm embrace

But I know you're worshipping in a holy place

Now the melodies you loved are echoing above

Surrounded by the glory of an everlasting love

I close my eyes and hear you in the quiet of the room

A hallelujah rising up to chase away the gloom

Oh, Patrick, not a single day goes by

Without a tear of longing in my eye

I wish that you were sitting right here next to me

Singing out the worship songs that set your spirit free

I'll hold you in my heart until my days are through

Lifting up a song of praise, and sending it to you
