We were together back in ninety-one
Thought we knew the way the story would run
But life had other plans, a different road to take
And it left us with a bond that time could never break
Jerry, we've walked down some unexpected lines
But I'm so grateful you're a friend of mine
ChorusYou're the most loving, godly man I know
Carrying the spirit everywhere you go
You've been through the fire so much this past year
But you still find a smile through every single tear
You praise the Lord through the heavy and the light
Jerry, your faith makes the dark days bright
Verse 2I've watched the heavy trials fall upon your door
Wondering how much a heart could carry anymore
But you just lift your hands and look up at the sky
Thanking God for everything as the days go by
I never want to lose this connection that we share
It brings me so much comfort knowing you are there
Chorus'Cause you're the most loving, godly man I know
Carrying the spirit everywhere you go
You've been through the fire so much this past year
But you still find a smile through every single tear
You praise the Lord through the heavy and the light
Jerry, your faith makes the dark days bright
BridgeThe seasons keep turning, the pages flip by
But some things are anchored beneath the blue sky
I just want you to hear it, I need you to see
Exactly how much your friendship means to me
Final Chorus'Cause you're the most loving, godly man I know
Carrying the spirit everywhere you go
You've been through the fire so much this past year
But you still find a smile through every single tear
You praise the Lord through the heavy and the light
Jerry, your faith makes the dark days bright
Yeah, life had other plans, but God knew best
With a friend like you, my life is truly blessed
