Rickey

Rickey, you had a heart so wide and true

Loved your family, your friends, and Jesus too

Always had a hallelujah on your tongue

Always had a melody waiting to be sung

You cared for every soul that crossed your way

Sharing the Word of God to light the day

You always told me, "You can't plow looking back"

Keep your eyes on the Lord, stay right on the track

I'm gonna keep moving forward, just like you showed

Praising the Savior while I walk down this road

You wrote the music, now you've joined the grand choir

Rickey, your faith is taking me higher

You wrote your own songs about the Father's grace

I can still see the joy shining right on your face

Every lyric you penned was a testament of love

Now you're singing those praises in heaven above

You lifted us up when the spirit was low

Sharing God's promise wherever you'd go

You always told me, "You can't plow looking back"

Keep your eyes on the Lord, stay right on the track

I'm gonna keep moving forward, just like you showed

Praising the Savior while I walk down this road

You wrote the music, now you've joined the grand choir

Rickey, your faith is taking me higher

I wish I had the chance to sit you down and say

How much I appreciated you every single day

I wish I could have told you before you had to leave

How much you inspired me to stand up and believe

But I know you hear me now from the heavenly throne

And because of your light, I am never alone

'Cause you told me, "You can't plow looking back"

Keep your eyes on the Lord, stay right on the track

I'm gonna keep moving forward, just like you showed

Praising the Savior while I walk down this road

You wrote the music, now you're singing the song

Rickey, your spirit is gonna live on

Yeah, I'll keep moving forward, just like you said

I won't look behind me, I'm looking ahead
