Max

You walked in honesty, a quiet, steady grace

A devoted husband, bringing peace into our space

Max, you were a giver with an open, willing hand

A God-fearing father, the rock on which we stand

You showed us what it means to serve the Lord above

Pouring out your life in sacrifice and love

Oh, we miss your tender care, the warmth of your embrace

We miss the way the love of God was written on your face

Me, Luz, and Myrna, we miss you so much

A faithful servant resting in the Savior's holy sight

Your faith in God is the legacy you leave

The anchor for our sorrow when we grieve

I still remember turning eighteen, the joy we all shared then

Not knowing that the time we had was coming to an end

We gathered close together, and smiled for the frame

Our very first family picture, before the sorrow came

It was the last one we would take, just a year before you passed

But the love inside that photograph was always built to last

Oh, we miss your tender care, the warmth of your embrace

We miss the way the love of God was written on your face

Me, Luz, and Myrna, we miss you so much

A faithful servant resting in the Savior's holy sight

Your faith in God is the legacy you leave

The anchor for our sorrow when we grieve

You gave to everyone around, you walked the righteous road

On your deathbed telling Myrna: return the change that was owed

For the company machine parts, your honesty shone bright

They spoke of your integrity, your legacy of light

We lift our hands in worship, just the way you taught us to

Thanking God for every single year we had with you

Oh, we miss your tender care, the warmth of your embrace

We miss the way the love of God was written on your face

Me, Luz, and Myrna, we miss you so much

Max, you are a faithful servant in the Savior's holy sight

Your faith in God is the legacy you leave

We will trust the Lord, just like you believed
