Buddy

I remember the shadows we had to walk through

Those tough times we faced when you were just a boy

But I watched how the Spirit was moving in you

Turning the heavy days back into joy

Now I look at you, Buddy, and I see the grace

Shining so bright on my grown son's face

You've got a heart of gold and a soul so deep

A love for your family and the promises you keep

You hold your church family so close to your chest

I'm so proud of the man you are, I am truly blessed

God is working inside you, making everything new

Buddy, reach out and grab what He's showing you

I love you so much, more than words can explain

Watching you grow through the sun and the rain

You stand as a pillar for the people you know

Letting the love of the Savior just show

The Lord has a purpose, He's making His plans

He's placing the future right into your hands

You've got a heart of gold and a soul so deep

A love for your family and the promises you keep

You hold your church family so close to your chest

I'm so proud of the man you are, I am truly blessed

God is working inside you, making everything new

Buddy, reach out and grab what He's showing you

He's fixing to do something great through your life

To use all the lessons, the hope and the strife

The door is wide open, the calling is clear

Step into the moment, your season is here

With your heart of gold and a soul so deep

A love for your family and the promises you keep

You hold your church family so close to your chest

I'm so proud of the man you are, I am truly blessed

God is fixing to do something mighty and true

So reach out and grab what He's showing you

Yeah, Buddy, just grab what He's showing you
