Reuben

I wake up early, before the morning dew

And watch the quiet, steady way you do the things you do

Reuben, you’re a hard-working man, patient and true

Always putting my needs right in front of you

When the days get heavy and the hours get long

You are the gentle rhythm in my southern song

Oh, God is good, He put you by my side

Through Christ all things are possible, with Heaven as our guide

My sweet Papa, my provider, my safe place to rest

Wrapped up in your loving arms, I know that I am blessed

I love you, Reuben, and I testify it's true

We bow our heads together, walking in His light

Knowing that the good Lord makes everything alright

Looking down the road to February twenty-twenty-six

Building up a love on a rock, not just bricks

You make sure I’m sheltered, you make sure I’m warm

You're my faithful anchor in the middle of the storm

Oh, God is good, He put you by my side

Through Christ all things are possible, with Heaven as our guide

My sweet Papa, my provider, my safe place to rest

Wrapped up in your loving arms, I know that I am blessed

I love you, Reuben, and I testify it's true

You give and you give, never asking for a thing

Just sharing the peace that the Holy Spirit brings

Every sacrifice you make, I see it in your eyes

A selfless man of God is the sweetest prize

Oh, God is good, He put you by my side

Through Christ all things are possible, with Heaven as our guide

My sweet Papa, my provider, my safe place to rest

Wrapped up in your loving arms, I know that I am blessed

I love you, Reuben, today and evermore

You're the answered prayer that I'm thanking Jesus for
