Roger

The engine hums on our weekly drive

Watching the neighborhood slowly roll by

Curb shopping for treasures, just taking our time

With your hand on the wheel and your hand holding mine

You carry the weight when the workweek is long

Providing for us, keeping everything strong

But here in this car, it's just you and me

And I see the man that I'm so proud to see

Roger, you're the head of our home

The safest shelter I've ever known

I respect your integrity, I trust your word

A protective presence that is felt and heard

I appreciate all of the hard work you do

But mostly, I just love you for you

When the shadows get long and the busy days end

We welcome the peace as the Shabbath descends

We open the Bible, we read from the Word

Your faith is an anchor through all that occurs

You love and serve God with a generous grace

Leading our family, guarding our space

In the quiet of evening, hearing you pray

I know that we're safe at the close of the day

Roger, you're the head of our home

The safest shelter I've ever known

I respect your integrity, I trust your word

A protective presence that is felt and heard

I appreciate all of the hard work you do

But mostly, I just love you for you

You never ask for the spotlight to shine

But I see how you put it all on the line

For the family you built, for the God that you serve

You give us so much more than we deserve

So let me just say what is true in my heart

You're the rock of my life, you're my favorite part

Roger, you're the head of our home

The safest shelter I've ever known

I respect your integrity, I trust your word

A protective presence that is felt and heard

I appreciate all of the hard work you do

But mostly, I just love you for you
