Jud

It started when we needed a helping hand

And someone who could see us through

Your son was the one who reached out

And that was the day we first met you

God was working far beyond that time and place

Giving us a friendship time cannot erase

Jud, you’re the voice of reason when I need it

Always stepping up with good advice

You lift me up and make me believe it

A steady friend who doesn't have to think twice

I count my blessings every single day

For the light you bring along the way

Walking in faith with a servant's heart

You never really left our side

Whenever there’s a heavy load to bear

You’re the first one stepping up to guide

Always standing strong in faith and prayer

We've always known that you would be right there

Jud, you’re the voice of reason when I need it

Always stepping up with good advice

You lift me up and make me believe it

A steady friend who doesn't have to think twice

I count my blessings every single day

For the light you bring along the way

Some people just pass through an open door

And leave things exactly as they were

But your encouragement is something more

A steady anchor when the world's a blur

You listen close and help me find my way

With the honest, caring words you say

So here’s to the wisdom that you share

And the faithful way our paths aligned

God had a purpose when He brought us close

A faithful friend I am glad to find

I just want to make sure that you see

What a blessing you have been to me

Jud, you’re the voice of reason when I need it

Always stepping up with good advice

You lift me up and make me believe it

A steady friend who doesn't have to think twice

I count my blessings every single day

For the light you bring along the way

Yeah, I am so blessed to have you in my life
