Papa

You stepped right up when we needed you most

Gave up your everything, kept us so close

You work every day just to give us the world

To keep us all safe as the future unfurls

You show us respect in the things that you do

And teach us we're loved just by being with you

Oh, Pawpaw Jeff, you are the rock that we need

Our beautiful world and the ground at our feet

You showed us exactly how real love should feel

A love that is steady, a love that heals

We count every blessing and thank God above

That you stepped up to raise us and gave us your love

When tears would fall down and we couldn't sleep

You made us a promise you always would keep

Through long sleepless nights, you wouldn't let go

You held us right there till our breathing got slow

Whenever we cried or were feeling so sad

You gave us the comfort we needed so bad

Oh, Pawpaw Jeff, you are the rock that we need

Our beautiful world and the ground at our feet

You showed us exactly how real love should feel

A love that is steady, a love that heals

We count every blessing and thank God above

That you stepped up to raise us and gave us your love

As a husband, you’re faithful, as a father, you’re strong

You built us a home where we always belong

You stepped up and went from our Pawpaw to our dad

And gave us the greatest love we ever had

So here is our message, so simple and true

We wouldn't be who we are without you

Through all of the struggles, you never release

You are our anchor, our joy, and our peace

Oh, Pawpaw Jeff, you are the rock that we need

Our beautiful world and the ground at our feet

You showed us exactly how real love should feel

A love that is steady, a love that heals

We count every blessing and thank God above

That you stepped up to raise us and gave us your love

Yeah, you stepped up to raise us, our rock and our love
