RECESSIONAL

Daddy Daddy stepped with conviction and truth. Daddy with his cotton white, timeless beard; We all knew you were serious when you called our name. Daddy’s eyes told you a story of battles won and fought but on Sunday morning

we knew all your attention was for the one who gave His life for all. Daddy’s hand’s all ten fingers strong

Let it alone I would hear; nobody touches my green machine. Always happy to be in the service of the Lord with a smile

On his face and dressed well Daddy, until we meet again...
