Verse 1

When I was young, I held my daddy's hand
He was my hero, he was the man
As years went by, I watched him grow old
I knew one day I'd lose his hold

Verse 2

He looked at me and gently said
“Don't be afraid of what's ahead
When I am gone and you feel alone
I'll tell you where to place your hope”

Chorus

Look to the Father
Look to the Son
Look to the Spirit
Three in One
You can trust God
He truly cares
Lift up your heart
He hears your prayers

Lay down your burdens, lay down your fear
Every tear, He holds them dear
Lift up your hands, speak His name
He is faithful, He's the same

Chorus

Look to the Father
Look to the Son
Look to the Spirit
Three in One
You can trust God
He truly cares
Call on His name
He answers prayers

Bridge

Daddy told me,

“You'll be okay
You don't need me the same old way
When you need strength and when life feels hard
You need the BIG Daddy—
You need God”

Verse 4

Though my dad is gone, the sun still shines
Morning breaks right on time
His love still lives in what he taught
Pointing me back to God

Final Chorus

Look to the Father
Look to the Son
Look to the Spirit
Three in One
I will trust God
He truly cares
I lift my voice—
He answers prayers

Outro

Look to the Father
Look to the Son
And the Holy Spirit

I will not fear, for You are with me
I will not run, I will not hide

You are my refuge by my side
Pressed on every side, but not crushed
Struck down, but never destroyed
I may be walking through the battle
But I am walking with the Lord

I claim it, I claim it
Every promise in Your Word
I believe it, I receive it
I am standing on what I’ve heard
God is with me, God is for me

Your Word is what I’m standing on

I put on the armor You have given
Faith is my shield, Your truth my sword
No fear will have the final answer
My hope is anchored in the Lord
I will live and tell Your goodness
I will praise You through the fight
Nothing ever can divide me
From Your love that holds me tight

You will hold me — I hold to Your promise
And I will not let go

Verse 1 · Known From the Beginning

Psalm 139:13–16 · Jeremiah 29:11

You formed me in the secret place,
You knew me before I knew Your name.
Every day was written in Your book,
Before a single morning came.

Plans for hope, a future in Your hands—
So when I cannot see tomorrow,
I can trust the One who can.

Verse 2 · Lead Me

Proverbs 3:5–6 · Joshua 1:9

I will trust You with my whole heart,
Not depend on what I understand.
In every road I’ll acknowledge You,
And You’ll make straight the path ahead.
So I’ll be strong and courageous,
I will not tremble, I will not fear,
For wherever this journey takes me,
You have promised You are near.

Chorus · You Are With Me

Isaiah 41:10 · Psalm 23:4

I will not fear, for You are with me,
You strengthen me and hold me near.

Through every place I cannot see.
The God who knew me from the beginning
Is the God who walks with me.

Verse 3 · Even Here

Isaiah 43:2 · Romans 8:28

When I pass through raging waters,
They will never sweep me away.

Even things I don’t understand—
All things together for Your purpose,
Every sorrow in Your hands.

Bridge · Your Grace Is Enough

2 Corinthians 12:9 · Philippians 4:13 · Lamentations 3:22–23

When I am weak, Your grace is sufficient,
Your power is strong where mine has gone.
Through Christ who gives me strength to follow,

New every morning when I rise—
Great is Your faithfulness, my Father,
Yesterday, today, for all my life.

Final Verse · Nothing Can Separate Me

Romans 8:38–39 · Psalm 40:1–3

Neither death nor life can take me
From the love I’ve found in You.
Nothing present, nothing coming,
Nothing created ever could.

Set my feet upon solid ground.
Then You placed a new song within me—
And now I have to sing it out.

Final Chorus · From Promise to Praise

Psalm 150:6

So let everything that has breath praise You,
Let every heart remember Your name.
The One who knew me from the beginning
Is with me all of my days.

Through every fire,
Your Word has carried me all the way.
You took my story from promise to promise—
And turned every promise to praise.

Tag

You knew me.
You called me.
You kept me.
You carried me.
And nothing can separate me
From Your love.

So while I have breath—
I will praise You.

Verse 1

The shadows keep whispering worst-case stories,
Trying to pull my eyes away,
But I've walked this road enough to know
Fear doesn't have the final say.

Every time I think I'm falling,
Every time I lose my peace,
There's a gentle voice reminding me
The One who holds me never leaves.

Pre-Chorus

So when the questions start to crowd my mind,
And I can't see beyond today,

Chorus

There is no need to worry,
There is no need to fear,
The devil's just distracting me,
Trying to pull me from what's real.
All I've gotta do is reach up,
And grab my Father's hand,
He's got me, He loves me,
And He's working out His plan.

Verse 2

He knows tomorrow before it finds me,
Knows every mountain, every turn,
Nothing catches Heaven by surprise,
There's nothing He can't use for good.

The road may bend where I can't see it,
But I know Who walks ahead,
And every step He's writing mercy
Where my anxious heart once tread.

Pre-Chorus

When uncertainty surrounds me,
And I don't understand,

Chorus

There is no need to worry,
There is no need to fear,
The devil's just distracting me,
Trying to pull me from what's real.
All I've gotta do is reach up,
And grab my Father's hand,
He's got me, He loves me,
And He's working out His plan.

Bridge

I am held,
I am known,
I am never walking alone.
Every tear,
Every prayer,
My Father sees me standing here.

And if I can't see the future,
I can trust the One who can,
Because His plans are always better
Than anything I've planned.

Final Chorus

There is no need to worry,
There is no need to fear,
The devil's just distracting me,
But God's presence is right here.
All I've gotta do is reach up,
And grab my Father's hand,
He's got me, He loves me,
And my future's in His hands.

Outro

He's got me…
He loves me…
And my future's in His hands.

Verse 1

Today I opened every closet,
Every drawer I'd filled with time.
Sorting through a lifetime's treasures,
Leaving what no longer shines.
Some things made me stop and smile,
Some had simply run their course.
Funny how the more I let go,
The more I found what mattered most.

Pre-Chorus

I've been clearing out the clutter,
Not just from every room.
Making space for peace to find me,
Watching old dreams bloom.
Keeping what my heart holds dear,
Letting go of what I don't.
Turns out freedom isn't getting more…
It's needing less than I once thought.

Chorus

It's not the end, it's just a chapter,
I'm turning one more page.
Trading all this heavy living
For a slower, sweeter pace.
I'm leaving all the clutter,
But keeping what love gave.
This isn't goodbye to my story…
I believe my best chapter is still ahead.

Verse 2

I've climbed hills I never wanted,
Walked through valleys dark and deep.
Every tear became a teacher,
Every prayer was mine to keep.
Looking back, I finally see it,
Nothing happened by mistake.
Every road was gently leading
To the woman I became.

Bridge

I spent too many years
Racing through the pages,
Trying to write the ending
Before I'd lived the days.

Then You whispered to my heart,

“Why have you been worrying?
I've had you all along.
I knew where I was leading you.
I just had to let you walk through it,
So you'd be ready when you got there.”

Everything I've lived
Has prepared me for what's next.
The Author is still writing my story…

I'm finally living
At the pace God planned for me.

Final Chorus

It's not the end, it's just a chapter,
The story's still unfolding.
Every sunrise is a reminder
Your mercy is still holding.
I'm leaving fear behind me,
Carrying only grace.
This isn't the end of my story…

I believe…
My best chapter…
Is still ahead.

Ending

Everything I've lived
Has prepared me for what's next.

The Author is still writing my story…

And I believe…
My best chapter…
Is still ahead.

Verse 1

I've been standing at a crossroads
Trying hard to see the way
Every answer feels uncertain
Every step I'm scared to take

I've been searching for direction
Running circles in my mind
But I hear You gently calling
Tie your heart to Mine

Pre-Chorus

So I'm laying down the questions
All the worry, all the weight

Chorus

When I don't know what to do
I'll reach out and ask of You
I won't doubt when I call
I will trust You through it all

Verse 2

I don't have to have the answers
I don't have to understand
You're already working in it
Even when I don't see Your plan

Every door that's closed before me
Every one You open wide
I will follow where You lead me
You are by my side

Pre-Chorus

So I'm letting go of control
Putting everything in place

Chorus

When I don't know what to do
I'll reach out and ask of You
I won't doubt when I call
I will trust You through it all

Bridge

Father, please give me Your wisdom
And I ask Your will be done

Father, please give me Your wisdom
And I ask Your will be done

Final Chorus

When I don't know what to do
I'll keep reaching out to You
I won't doubt when I call
I will trust You through it all

Outro

If any of you lacks wisdom… let him ask of God…
James 1:5

Verse 1

You never said the road would not be long,
Or that the night would always sing my song,
You never said the tears would never fall,
But You have spoken louder than them all.
When fear is whispering I won't survive,
Your steady voice reminds me I'm alive.

Pre-Chorus

In every valley, in every flame,
I hear You calling me by name.

Chorus

You said, “I will fight for you,”
When the waters rise and I can't move.
You said, “I'll be with you wherever you go,”
Through every high and every low.
You said, “My peace I give to you,”
A promise steady, faithful, true.
You never said it would be easy—
But You promised You would see me through.

Verse 2

When troubles come like crashing waves,
You are my refuge, strong and brave.
When I am weak and hope feels gone,
You are the strength I'm leaning on.
You said You'd never walk away,
Nor leave my side another day.

Pre-Chorus

Before tomorrow meets my eyes,
You're already there beyond the skies.

Chorus

You said, “I will fight for you,”
When the waters rise and I can't move.
You said, “I'll be with you wherever you go,”
Through every high and every low.
You said, “My peace I give to you,”
A promise steady, faithful, true.
You never said it would be easy—
But You promised You would see me through.

Bridge

You'll deliver me from all my fears,
You are my shelter through the years.
You hold my future in Your hands,
You're working all things by Your plan.
You will provide my every need,
You're going first, You walk with me.
You'll never leave, You won't forsake,
Every promise You will keep.

Chorus

You fight for me, I'm not alone,
You go before me, lead me home.
Your peace remains when storms appear,
Your perfect love casts out my fear.
You never promised easy days—
But You promised grace.
You promised strength.
You promised You would make a way.

Verse 1

I've held on with tired hands
Trying to fix what I don't understand
Fighting battles that were never mine to win
Lord, I'm laying down my strength again

Pre-Chorus

Like Moses on the mountain, arms too weak to stay
You sent the ones to hold me up when I couldn't find a way
So I'm lifting up my hands, not to hold on — but to let go

Chorus

Jehovah Nissi, my banner in the storm
You fight for me, You keep me safe from harm
I lay it down, every plan, every fear
The battle's Yours — Jehovah Nissi, be near

Verse 2

All things are working — I believe it's true
Called according to purpose, for a love that's coming through
So whatever this becomes, let it bring You glory, Lord
I release my grip and trust You even more

Pre-Chorus

Like Moses on the mountain, arms too weak to stay
You sent the ones to hold me up when I couldn't find a way
So I'm lifting up my hands, not to hold on — but to let go

Chorus

Jehovah Nissi, my banner in the storm
You fight for me, You keep me safe from harm
I lay it down, every plan, every fear
The battle's Yours — Jehovah Nissi, be near

Bridge

I'm not letting go of him, Lord — I'm letting go of me
Of trying to fix, of trying to force, of trying to make it be
You knew him before I did, You know how this all ends
So I'm lifting up my hands to You, and leaving it there again

Final Chorus

Jehovah Nissi, my banner in the storm
You fight for me, You keep me safe from harm
I lay it down, every plan, every fear
It's Yours, my God — Jehovah Nissi, be near

Verse 1

I've been staring at the same four walls,
Praying for a breakthrough, but the night still falls.
Some days it feels like heaven's far away,
But even here, You're with me when I pray.
You're not rushed, You don't lose track of me,
Every tear I cry You still redeem.
So I'll breathe in, and I will not forget—
You are good, and You haven't failed me yet.

Pre-Chorus

When my heart starts leaning into fear,
I'll draw in close and know that You are near.
If I'm standing in the “not yet” season,
I will trust You have a reason.

Chorus

You know the plans You have for me,
Plans for peace — You're carrying me.
When I can't see what's up ahead,
I'll stand on every word You said.
You've got my future in Your hands.

Verse 2

I've been learning how to live inside the “not yet,”
Planting hope like seeds with every breath.
You're still God in the silence and the strain,
And You've never wasted one day of my pain.
So I'll build my life on what I know is true,
Not on what I feel, but on the Word from You.
If the promise takes a while to unfold,
I'll wait with faith, 'cause Your hands still hold.

Pre-Chorus

When my heart starts leaning into fear,
I'll draw in close and know that You are near.
If I'm standing in the “not yet” season,
I will trust You have a reason.

You know the plans You have for me,
Plans for peace — You're carrying me.
When I can't see what's up ahead,
I'll stand on every word You said.
You've got my future in Your hands.

Bridge

Even in the waiting, You are working,
Even when I can't feel it, You are near.
You're not late, You're not silent, You're not finished—
You're still writing hope right here.
So I will rest my heart in what You've spoken,
I will trust You when I can't understand.
You are faithful to the end of my story—
And my future's in Your hands.

Final Chorus

You know the plans You have for me,
Plans for peace — You're carrying me.
When I can't see what's up ahead,
I'll stand on every word You said.
You've got my future in Your hands.

Outro

You've got my future in Your hands.

Intro

You don't waste my pain—You turn it for good,
Thank you, Lord—I'm called to Your purpose.

Verse 1

I've been in the valley, it was hard to climb out,
Gasping through the heartache, wrestling with the doubt.
But right there in the shadow, that's where You came in—
You lifted up my head, and You gave the valley purpose.

Pre-Chorus

You're not done, You're not through,
All things for good—Your purpose is true.

All things for good—Your purpose remains.

I'm Yours alone, I'm set apart,
I'm called according to Your purpose.

Final Chorus

You're working all things for my good,
Even when I can't see what You're doing.

Outro

In every season, in every moment,
You're working all things for my good.

Verse 1

We stood across the street in that parking lot,
Hearts were crying… hearts were in a knot.
Smoke curled up where our memories lived, how would we ever forgive when we watched our home go up that way
We wouldn't walk away the same

Pre-Chorus

Not just church folks—but everybody came,
Our faces lit up by the burning flames

Chorus

First Baptist Ocala, we were raised in those doors—
Sunday School to Sunday night, and then we came back for more.
Wednesday suppers, prayer meeting, every time the lights came on,
We weren't just friends… we were family all along.

Verse 2

We got baptized there, we got married there, we learned to sing and we learned to pray—
And as we watched it burn, we knew that fire couldn't cause our faith to fade.
No, you can't burn down a church
That's living in our hearts.

Bridge

It wasn't brick, it wasn't wood,
It was “how you doin'?” and “God is good.”
It was choir songs we all knew by heart,
Handbells ringing out in the dark.
So let the steeple fall, let the old walls fade—
What God built in us can't be taken away.

Verse 3

Three stories high with the white front face,
White steps leading to amazing grace.
Tall columns standing like a testimony,
Inside that building, it was holy

Choir voices rising, harmony strong—
Even in the ashes, we still had a song.

Pre-Chorus

And in that smoke-filled sky, we knew—
The church was more than a view.

Chorus

First Baptist Ocala, we were raised in those doors—
Sunday School to Sunday night, and then we came back for more.
Wednesday suppers, prayer meeting, every time the lights came on,
We weren't just friends… we were family all along.

Final Chorus

First Baptist Ocala, we were raised in those doors—
Sunday School to Sunday night, and then we came back for more.
Wednesday suppers, prayer meeting, every time the lights came on,
We weren't just friends… we were family all along.

Jesus taught us to forgive, so that's how we're gonna live

Verse 1

I see you standing on that line
Telling everybody you're just fine
But deep inside, you're filled with fear
Don't you know that Jesus is near?

You keep saying, “I can handle it”
But the weight won't go away
Jesus bore it on His shoulders
You can run to Him today

Pre-Chorus

You don't have to prove you're brave
You don't have to fight alone
There's a refuge, there's a covering
There's a place that feels like home

Chorus 1

Run — don't walk — get to Jesus
He's already made a way
Run — don't stall — He will cover
Every step you take

Run — don't wait — mercy's open
You don't have to stand and spar
The weapon isn't standing still
It's running where His arms are

Verse 2

The enemy doesn't play fair
He just waits till you're worn thin
He smiles while he steals your ground
Then calls it “just one sin”

This isn't weakness — this is war
And you don't owe him space
Why negotiate your freedom
When Jesus took your place?

Chorus 2

Run — don't walk — flee to Jesus
Don't let darkness get a grip
Run — don't stall — He's your fortress
Grace is stronger than the pit

Run — don't wait — drop the pride now
You don't have to take that hit
The weapon isn't willpower
The weapon is running to Him

Bridge

Run…
Don't wait…
Run…
Don't stand there thinking…
Run…
He already won this fight…
Run…

Final Chorus

Run — don't walk — flee to Jesus
Don't let Satan steal your ground
Run to the One who loves you
Where mercy and grace abound

Outro

Hey…
You know now.
You don't have to stay there.
You don't have to fight it alone.
He's already made the way.
Don't think.
Don't stall.

Just…
Run.

Verse 1

I wrote it out and I prayed it through,
Tried to keep my heart soft toward you.
But I've been holding what isn't mine,
Calling it peace while I'm losing mine.
Truth kept rising, wouldn't stay low—
So I'm saying it now… and I'm letting it go.

Pre-Chorus

'Cause love can be kind,
And love can be strong.
Mercy has a boundary—
And I've waited long.

Chorus

I said it with love, I said it clear,
I won't live in that weight right here.
I bless you, I release you, I'm letting you go—
I'm choosing my Father… with love, I let go.
No hate, no fight—just what I know:
I place you in His hands… with love, I let go.

Verse 2

Our season is over and that's okay,
Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt this way.
I do trust God, but I'm not immune to pain,
Faith doesn't cancel what my heart still claims.
I'm not your answer, I'm not your home,
I can forgive… and still move on.

Pre-Chorus

'Cause love can be kind,
And love can be strong.
God didn't call me
To carry this on.

Chorus

I said it with love, I said it clear,
I won't live in that weight right here.
I bless you, I release you, I'm letting you go—
I'm choosing my Father… with love, I let go.
No hate, no fight—just what I know:
I place you in His hands… with love, I let go.

Bridge

Lord, keep my heart soft—keep my feet strong,
Teach me the difference between peace and playing along.
I'm laying it down, I'm letting You lead,
What I can't change, I lay at Your feet.
I forgive, I release, I'm letting it go—
You hold what I can't… with love, I let go.

Final Chorus

I said it with love, I said it clear,
I won't live in that weight right here.
I bless you, I release you, I'm letting you go—
I'm choosing my Father… with love, I let go.
No hate, no fight—just what I know:
I place you in His hands… with love, I let go.

Tag

With love, I let go.
With love, I let go.

Verse 1

It was hard to walk away from you
Every step felt wrong, but I knew the truth
Love don't always mean you stay
Sometimes faith calls you a different way

Tears fell, but I let you go
Placed it all in hands I know
When I moved, He made a way
Did what I couldn't do if I stayed

Pre-Chorus

I had to trust what I couldn't see
Let Him work in you and me

Chorus

With love, I let go… and God stepped in
He healed the places we couldn't mend
Now here we are, stronger than before
Proof that faith is worth the war

Friends forever, not by chance
But by His will and His perfect plan
When He's the center, we don't fall apart
God in the middle… that's where it starts

Verse 2

Distance didn't break our thread
It pulled us closer through what He said
Time alone did what time can do
It made us whole… it made us new

I see His hand in every mile
Even in the waiting while
What we lost, He restored in grace
Brought us back to a better place

Bridge

We tried to hold it on our own
But growth don't happen in comfort zones
He separated to make us see
What we are… was meant to be

Not just friends, but purpose tied
Refined by fire, not denied
If we keep Him in the lead
We'll always be what we're meant to be

Final Chorus

With love, I let go… and God stepped in
Turned goodbye into start again
Now we stand with a stronger core
What we have is forevermore

Friends forever, sealed in Him
Not by feelings… but by faith within
When He's the center, we won't drift apart
God in the middle… guards our hearts

Verse 1

Born in Ocala, November '32,
Dutton and Clara's first—oldest of the crew.
Then came Dalton, then Clara Nell too,
Three cut-ups in a line, always up to something new.

Verse 2

Dutton, Dalton, and Morris—Ocala High, that crew,
Always together—everybody knew.
Dutton's daddy had a used car lot—mercy, what a deal,
Those three would pick a new ride like spin-the-wheel.

Verse 3

Then off to Gator County—die-hard orange and blue,
He coached from the stands like he ran the whole crew.
Need a Gator ticket? Folks would call him up—
Somehow Dutton had one: “Yep… you're in luck.”

Hook

Everybody loved Dutton and Dutton loved 'em back.

Verse 4

In 1960 Dutt was in a car wreck—right on the edge of gone,
But mercy found him, and he kept living on.
Then February '61 he married Martha, eyes of blue,
And eleven months later God sent Sheri—it's true.

Verse 5

Sheri was nine when Martha passed away,
Dutt became mom and dad till God made a way.
Then came Judy—steady, warm, and true,
With Annie and Clay—love held our family through.

Verse 6

And here's the part that really showed my daddy's heart,
He never missed church—it was a lifelong part.
That was his ministry, faithful from the start,
Forty years of ushering, serving God with his heart.

Hook

Everybody loved Dutton and Dutton loved 'em back.

Verse 7

At the door with that grin he'd say, “How are y'all doin'?”
“Glad you're here—come on in—good to see you this mornin'.”
If folks said “too hot” or “too cold,” he'd smile and then—
“Adjusted” that fake thermostat… and fooled himself again.

Verse 8

By ten o'clock he'd be post office-bound,
Standing by that flagpole—like the welcome sign in town.
Talking to everybody, making strangers feel known,
“Go to church—y'all need to go,” then he'd head on home.

Verse 9

Nap time every afternoon—yes sir, right on time,
Then he'd wake up smiling like the day was doing fine.
Watered that yard with pride, kept it green and true,
If you saw a perfect lawn… that was Dutton too.

Hook

Everybody loved Dutton and Dutton loved 'em back.

Verse 10

He loved to play golf—thought he still had that swing,
But watch that golf cart… he might clip anything.
If you stepped in his way, you'd better move on fast—
Then he'd laugh that Dutton laugh, having a blast.

Verse 11

He took my kids to school each day, brought 'em home too,
Never missed a game or a thing I'd do.
Always there for me in every single way—
That's the kind of love that doesn't fade away.

Hook

Everybody loved Dutton and Dutton loved 'em back.

Closing

Everybody loved Dutton and Dutton loved 'em back,
And I carry that love like a welcome mat.
Everybody loved Dutton… and heaven does too.

Verse 1

She'd fill the tub with water warm
Soap and bubbles start to form
Then set me in when she was through
Like love was something you just do
Stand me on that toilet seat
Wrap me in a towel so sweet
Brush my teeth and fix my hair
Then lay me down and kiss me there

So beautiful with that easy smile
Big blue eyes — she had her style

Chorus

Sunday roast morning and night
Little Fiat — what a sight
She'd play the piano, sing “Lazy Bones”
And somehow made the whole house home
Ate green olives from the jar
Crossword puzzles near and far
Knitting dresses — what patience that took
Loop by loop on needle and hook

Verse 2

She loved her boys, Don and Jim
All her attention was on them
They came before me, loud with toys
Her first two hearts, her first two joys
Then I arrived with bows and lace
Found my safe and happy place
Three little kids around her knees
She gave her heart so easily

Chorus

Sunday roast morning and night
Little Fiat — what a sight
She'd play the piano, sing “Lazy Bones”
And somehow made the whole house home
Ate green olives from the jar
Crossword puzzles near and far
Knitting dresses — what patience that took
Loop by loop on needle and hook

Verse 3

She made her clothes and she made mine
With matching hair bows every time
When she'd come home for lunch each day
I'd wrap around her, beg her to stay
She'd laugh and carry me awhile
Before she'd leave with that soft smile
And even then, though I was small
She was my whole world, after all

Chorus

Sunday roast morning and night
Little Fiat — what a sight
She'd play the piano, sing “Lazy Bones”
And somehow made the whole house home
Ate green olives from the jar
Crossword puzzles near and far
Knitting dresses — what patience that took
Loop by loop on needle and hook

Verse 4

Vacation trips meant mountain time
Three families, ten kids — Lord, what a climb
Blue Ridge Mountains, Mammoth Cave
Sliding Rock — boy, weren't we brave
While sleeping in our pop-up campers
Someone whispered, “What's that out there?”
And as we looked, we saw the bear
Mama screamed — she didn't care

DUT-TUN! GET US OUT OF HERE!

Chorus

Sunday roast morning and night
Little Fiat — what a sight
She'd play the piano, sing “Lazy Bones”
And somehow made the whole house home
Ate green olives from the jar
Crossword puzzles near and far
Knitting dresses — what patience that took
Loop by loop on needle and hook

Closing

So beautiful with that easy smile
Big blue eyes — my mama's style

Verse 1

Geraldine… we called you a TOB
A Tough Old Bird for the world to see
Not behind your back—you heard it clear
It was truth every time—no softening here

Surgeries done, she was wide awake
Not a single complaint you'd hear her make
She wore that strength like it was her skin
And dared this life to try again

Verse 2

They sent her to hospice rest a while
She said I'm not dying here with a serious smile
Come and get me I will be outside
Sitting on my suitcase waiting for my ride

Legally blind, but she'd still say
she could hear just fine let's get on our way
Better make sure she got a good seat
For the music that made her heart beat sweet

Chorus

The world needs more tough old birds
Faith-filled hearts and steady words
She gave us truth, the no-nonsense kind
No sugarcoatin', she spoke her mind

Oh Geraldine, you showed us how
To stand up strong and do it right
And even now, your voice is clear
Still setting every standard here

Verse 3

That cake she baked didn't turn out right
So she tossed it out in plain daylight
No second chances, no sugarcoat
She made her point—and that's all she wrote

At ninety-one she'd look around
At Shambrel like what is this crowd
There sure are a lot of old folks here
She kept us laughing year to year

Bridge

Three words carried us through these days
Not just spoken—but in the way you portrayed

Faith in a God who called you home
Where you'll never again be alone
Maybe cards laid out, a game in play
And a golden course not far away

Family small but strong and true
More than enough in all we do
Every heart showed up every hand held tight
That is the love you built for life

Friends oh where do we even start
They filled your days they filled your heart
With prayers and calls and time they gave
They walked beside you all the way

Final Chorus

The world needs more tough old birds
We still hear your voice in every word
You gave us laughter you gave us light
You showed us how to live life right

Oh Geraldine we'll carry on
With a faith that says you're not really gone
And even now your voice is clear
Still setting every standard here

Outro

Estella Mae
Geraldine Cornwell
Our Tough Old Bird
We'll see you again

Verse 1

Born beneath the Carolina sky,
With a curious heart and a twinkle in her eye,
Her babies were born in the Florida sun,
Then raised in Georgia as the years rolled on.
Life took her down some winding roads,
But she kept moving, brave and strong—
Wherever Betty made her home,
Love was never far behind.

Chorus

There was always room for one more,
One more child, one more chair,
One more heart that needed holding,
One more life needing care.
Some were born to her, some were chosen,
Some just needed an open door—
But every child who came to Betty
Found there was room for one more.

Verse 2

She can tickle those ivories without a note,
Play the sweetest song you've ever known,
Then play a trick and laugh that laugh
Till everybody else joins in.
She's curious and inquisitive,
A little daredevil through and through;
If there's a mystery anywhere around,
She'll be looking for every clue.

Verse 3

Life gave her reasons to stop believing,
And roads no heart should walk alone,
But Betty is a rise-again woman—
A survivor, steady and strong.
Then with her youngest nearly grown,
Phil came walking into her story;
Two strong hearts joined side by side
And built a life of love and glory.

Verse 4

Together they opened up their doorway
To every child who needed more—
Nearly eighty found a safe place
Inside Betty and Phil's open door.
They held the babies others couldn't,
Calmed their fears and dried their tears,
And built a shelter out of love
That has lasted all these years.

Chorus

There was always room for one more,
One more child, one more chair,
One more heart that needed holding,
One more life needing care.
Some were born to them, some were chosen,
Some just needed an open door—
But every child who came to Betty and Phil
Found there was room for one more.

Bridge

She knew the joy of camping roads,
Of laughing children everywhere,
Then she and Phil set sail together
With new adventures left to share.
She is his queen, and he is her king,
Across the ocean they explore—
And after every journey ends,
They're ready to go once more.

Final Chorus

There is always room for one more,
One more laugh, one more prayer,
One more child to call their family,
One more memory to share.
South Carolina roots still ground her,
Florida and Georgia shaped her years,
And eighty-five years of loving
Have touched more lives than she'll ever hear.

Outro

So here's to Betty and that special laugh,
Her survivor's heart and open door—
And here's to Phil, still by her side,
Her partner through it all.
Together they have shown this world
What a life of love is for—
Because everyone who's loved by them
Knows there's always room for one more.

Verse 1

I don't need a gym or a workout plan,
I've got the strongest flex in the land.
Five boys loud and one girl stacked,
Six little loves and I call that abs.

Chorus

I've got a six pack,
But it ain't from crunches,
It's laughter, hugs, and snacks by the bunches.
I've got a six pack,
Yeah that's a fact,
Six grandkids strong and my heart's all jacked.

Verse 2

Ethan's drivin' a Jeep, smart as can be,
Karson swings that racket with confidence and speed.
Khloe's my girl, softball and flair,
Brady sings loud like he owns the air.
Aden's all smiles, loving and sweet,
Link's sayin' “Grammy, where's the mote?” when he comes to me.

Chorus

I've got a six pack,
But it ain't from crunches,
It's laughter, hugs, and snacks by the bunches.
I've got a six pack,
Yeah that's a fact,
Six grandkids strong and my heart's all jacked.

Outro

I've got a six pack,
Best one I ever had.

Verse 1

If I'm honest, I already know
She's gonna say yes before I even go
I text my Grammy, “Can I hang with you?”
She says, “Okay, baby, what you wanna do?”

“I don't know… whatever you say”
She just laughs, “That's fine—I'm on my way”

Verse 2

When I'm with my Grammy, I don't gotta ask
She makes blueberry muffins, she's movin' real fast

She makes my coffee, and scrambled eggs too
Got it ready before I even move

Chorus

Hangin' with my Grammy at her place
When we're on the couch, we're in each other's space
We laugh, we talk, watch TV all night
I pick the movie, she says, “alright”

Yeah, life gets better every time I'm there
Don't even care what we do or where
Simple little moments mean everything to me
When I'm hangin' with my Grammy

Verse 3

I talk her into lunch, sometimes dinner too
She just smiles like she already knew
Then I switch it up, yeah I do my thing
Make her tacos—best she's ever seen

We take turns takin' care of each other
She's more than my Grammy, she's like no other

Bridge

Then me and Brady walk in the room
Energy hits like a sonic boom
We're laughin' loud, can't sit still
Turnin' up the fun—yeah, we always will

Lord help Grammy when we get that way
But she's smilin' through it anyway
'Cause she knows deep down, plain as gold
These are the moments she'll always hold

Final Chorus

Hangin' with my Grammy, wouldn't trade a thing
Not the laughs, not the joy she brings
She lights up the room just like the sun
And somehow makes everything more fun

Yeah, I don't need nothin' fancy to see
The best place in the world is where she is with me
Simple little moments mean everything to me
Ain't nothin' like hangin' with my Grammy

Outro

“Grammy… what are you doing this week?”
“I don't know, baby… what are you thinking?”
“You wanna come hang with me?”
“I would love to… I'm on my way.”

Verse 1

Born in Ocala, February first,
God sent you from heaven to earth.
Marti and Mel held heaven that day,
First grandchild joy in the biggest way.
Papa and Grammy, Nana and Papa Mike,
Didn't know love could feel this right.
From that first breath, we all could see,
You were headed towards your destiny.

Verse 2

Montessori halls, curious mind,
Highlands days, fourth and fifth grade time.
Legos stacked with engineer's pride,
Sketching worlds you kept inside.
Baseball, football, golf swing clean,
Even tennis runs in your genes.
Early mornings for huntin' time,
And even throwing out fishin' line.

Pre-Chorus

You've learned the games, you've learned what's fun,
But you never forgot where you're from.

Chorus

Eighteen years, and here you are,
Strong-hearted kid with a steady start.
Yesterday's gone, tomorrow's begun,
But you'll always be my One One.
The road is wide, the light is on,
You were ready before you were born.
No matter how far you run—
You'll always be my One One.

Verse 3

Then Fort King years went racing by,
Forest High with dreams set high.
Green Jeep rolling, windows down,
Mark's Prime nights, earning your ground.
You carry respect, you carry your name,
Quiet confidence—never loud, never fake.

Bridge

Caps and gowns are coming soon,
College bound, a brand-new tune.
God's hand's been there, every mile,
Every lesson, every trial.

Final Chorus

Eighteen years, and here you are,
Strong-hearted kid with a steady start.
Yesterday's gone, tomorrow's begun,
But you'll always be my One One.

Eighteen years, go chase your dreams,
Take your faith and go chase destiny.
Life will change, but this won't run—
You'll always be my One One.

Verse 1

Brady on the tee
Cap turned low
Lines it up calm
Then he lets it go
Ball in the sky
Everyone goes “whoa”
He just shrugs like “yeah
I know”

Chorus

Brady is the best
Best grandson ever
Cooler than cool
He's on another level
Crushing that golf
Winning in pickleball too
Brady is the best
And we all know it's true

Verse 2

Paddle in his hand
Sneakers on the court
Quick little grin
Then he owns the sport
Spin on the serve
They can't keep score
He's already laughing
Ready for more

Chorus

Brady is the best
Best grandson ever
Cooler than cool
He's on another level
Crushing that golf
Winning in pickleball too
Brady is the best
And we all know it's true

Bridge

From early in the morning
Till the sun goes down
He's the star of the story
Of this whole town
Grandkid of the century
Yeah
That's you
Brady
You're a legend
Through and through

Final Chorus

Brady is the best
Best grandson ever
Cooler than cool
He's on another level
Crushing that golf
Winning in pickleball too
Brady is the best
And we all know it's true

Yeah
Brady is the best
And we all know it's true

Verse 1

He was a Marine, proud and strong,
Learning how to stand when the road got long.
With a steady hand and a mind of his own,
Phil could make a way wherever he'd go.
From the world of business and advertising
To drawing a face with an artist's eye,
He's worn a lot of hats through the years,
And worn every one of them with pride.

Chorus

He's the king beside his queen,
Standing strong behind the scenes,
Cooking supper, cleaning house,
Doing all that family needs.
A father, a teacher, a foster dad,
A steady hand through everything—
She may be the famous Cruise Queen,
But right beside her stands the king.

Verse 2

He built a hair-transplant business
And kept it going year after year,
Helping people face their reflection
With a little more confidence there.
Give him a pencil, give him some paper,
Watch a face come alive in his hand;
There's more than one kind of masterpiece
In the life of this talented man.

Chorus

He's the king beside his queen,
Standing strong behind the scenes,
Cooking supper, cleaning house,
Doing all that family needs.
A father, a teacher, a foster dad,
A steady hand through everything—
She may be the famous Cruise Queen,
But right beside her stands the king.

Verse 3

When children came through their open doorway,
Phil was waiting for them too,
Nearly eighty needed a safe place
And found a father strong and true.
He changed the diapers, cooked the dinners,
Calmed the fears and dried the tears;
He and Betty built a shelter out of love
That has lasted all these years.

Bridge

He'll lace his shoes and start out running,
Then teach a classroom later on,
Sketch your picture at the kitchen table
And somehow get the likeness right.
He's a father and a grandfather,
A great-grandfather, proud and true—
If something needs a willing hand,
Phil usually knows just what to do.

Final Chorus

He's the king beside his queen,
Sailing seas and chasing dreams,
With another port upon the map
And another place they've never seen.
A Marine, an artist, a foster dad,
A man who's lived a life worth seeing—
Betty may be his Cruise Queen,
But Phil will always be her king.

Outro

Yes, he's certainly a man of his own,
But he and Betty make quite a team—
The Foster Dad and Cruising King,
Standing proudly beside his queen.

Verse 1 · Female

Sixteen and scared, holding two hearts in her hands
Life came fast, not part of her plans
Tears on her cheeks, love in her eyes
She whispered a prayer as she said goodbye

Two little souls, born side by side
Both carried forward, not torn by divide
Not by chance, but by grace somehow
God was writing their story even then, even now

Verse 2 · Male

They couldn't remember the moment they met
But heaven sure hasn't forgot it yet
One mama let go, one mama held tight
And a daddy stepped in and made it all right

They gave them a home, gave them a name
Raised them with love that never changed
Through every storm, through every bend
They became their family from beginning to end
They became their family from beginning to end

Chorus · Duet

They were chosen twice, yeah heaven knew
One let them go, one saw them through
From broken beginnings to a love so deep
God plants His promises, and He always keeps

They may have been given away that day
But they were never lost along the way
They may have been given away that day
But they were never lost along the way
Two different paths, one perfect plan
They were always held in His hands

Verse 3 · Female, then both

They grew up side by side, hand in hand
Two hearts learning life, just like it was planned
Same first breath, the exact same day
A bond that would never fade away

Donna was his laughter, his lifelong friend
A piece of his heart that heaven would lend
And though she's gone, he still feels her near
In every memory, Donna's right here

Bridge · Male

And when Donna left, it left a hole inside
But her love didn't leave, it just changed sides
Now it lives in the man he became
In every memory, love still remains

Final Chorus · Duet

They were chosen twice, don't you see
That kind of love was destiny
From letting go to holding on
That's how a broken story turns so strong

Yeah, life may start in ways we don't understand
But God doesn't ever lose His plan
Through every tear, through every chance
They were always held in His hands

Verse 1

I will not fear, for You are with me
I will not run, I will not hide
When I am weak, You are my strength, Lord
You are my refuge by my side
Pressed on every side, but not crushed
Struck down, but never destroyed
I may be walking through the battle
But I am walking with the Lord

Chorus

I claim it, I claim it
Every promise in Your Word
I believe it, I receive it
I am standing on what I’ve heard
God is with me, God is for me
I will never fight alone
I claim it, I claim it
Your Word is what I’m standing on

Verse 2

I put on the armor You have given
Faith is my shield, Your truth my sword
No fear will have the final answer
My hope is anchored in the Lord
I will live and tell Your goodness
I will praise You through the fight
Nothing ever can divide me
From Your love that holds me tight

Bridge

When fear says, “Give up” — I speak Your promise
When doubt says, “Let go” — I speak Your promise
When the night feels long — Your promise is my song
Every promise that I know
You are with me — I hold to Your promise
You will strengthen me — I hold to Your promise
You will hold me — I hold to Your promise
And I will not let go

Final Chorus

I claim it, I claim it
Every promise in Your Word
I believe it, I receive it
I am standing on what I’ve heard
God is with me, God is for me
I will never fight alone
I claim it, I claim it
Your Word is what I’m standing on

Outro

I will not fear
I will not fold
I will stand upon Your Word
You are with me
You are for me
I claim it
I claim it
I claim it

Verse 1

At thirty-three his heart first warned him,
But it never stole his fight,
Through the years came more procedures,
Still he held on good and tight.
Four years back he chose retirement,
Arizona called them home,
Trading working days for desert skies,
With new adventures yet to come.

Verse 2

Then December twenty-four brought bypass,
But the bypass couldn't hold,
A skilled hand found another pathway,
Stents gave hope when roads had closed.
Still his heart kept getting weaker,
Every option had been tried,
Till Mayo said, “It's time to list him”—
For the gift that saved his life.

Pre-Chorus

Seven days upon that list,
Then came the call that changed it all,
November fourteenth, twenty-five—
A brand-new heart, a brand-new life.

Chorus

He's gifted! He's golfing!
He's back out chasing that little white ball,
New heart beating, new life calling,
And he plans on living through it all!
From the desert sun to the eighteenth green,
He's swinging better than he's ever been,
Yeah, life gave Harold another shot—
And he's giving this one everything he's got!

Verse 3

Now the Arizona sun is blazing,
Hundred seventeen degrees,
Everybody else says, “Harold, STOP!”
He says, “Looks like golf to me!”
Every day he's on that fairway,
Twelve strokes down and aiming low,
New heart, old clubs, big ambitions—
There isn't anywhere he won't go!

Pre-Chorus

Every drive and every putt,
Every sunrise, every round,
Is another little victory
When that heartbeat starts to pound.

Chorus

He's gifted! He's golfing!
He's back out chasing that little white ball,
New heart beating, new life calling,
And he plans on living through it all!
From the desert sun to the eighteenth green,
He's swinging better than he's ever been,
Yeah, life gave Harold another shot—
And he's giving this one everything he's got!

Bridge

Somewhere in somebody's darkest hour,
Came a gift beyond compare,
A family chose to give new life
In the middle of despair.
So every beat and every fairway,
Every morning, every green,
Honors someone he may never know—
But whose gift made possible this dream.

Guitar Solo

Verse 4

Now he's headed for the Transplant Games,
And he's got his eye to win,
American Games, then World Games—
Just tell Harold where and when!
He's got a story worth the telling,
And a whole lot more to do,
From Gifted Golf AZ to the tee box—
He's living proof that dreams come true.

Final Chorus

HE'S GIFTED! HE'S GOLFING!
Turn those guitars up and let 'em roll!
New heart beating, new life calling,
Got a second chance and a brand-new goal!
From the Arizona desert to the world stage,
He's writing one hell of a brand-new page,
Life gave Harold another shot—
AND HE'S GIVING THIS ONE EVERYTHING HE'S GOT!

Outro

Gifted heart.
Gifted life.
One more drive beneath that Arizona sky.
Gifted Golf AZ—
Still swinging.
Still living.
Still aiming high.

Verse 1

Nineteen-ninety, Ocala turned white,
A rare kind of snow in the soft morning light.
The day you were born felt tender and new,
Like heaven leaned in just passing you through.
Oh Lana, you came with a spark in your eyes,
A song in your laughter, a fire inside.

Chorus

Some lives burn brighter, though never too long,
Like a beautiful verse in a half-finished song.
You loved so deeply, you gave everything—
Oh Lana, sweet Lana, you'll always be seen.

Verse 2

You loved to sing loud from the backseat,
Turning every car ride into something sweet.
You'd stand on a stool just to cook what you'd eat,
With that “I've got this” grin—no fear, just belief.
You worked with your hands, your heart, and your soul,
Doing your best just to keep life whole.

Verse 3

Then came your greatest, your whole wide world—
Jaxson, your boy, and Amelia, your girl.
You loved them fiercely, every breath, every day,
In the simplest moments, in your own gentle way.
And Kyle stood with you, love steady and true,
Those babies grew strong in the care that you knew.

Chorus

Some lives burn brighter, though never too long,
Like a beautiful verse in a half-finished song.
You loved so deeply, you gave everything—
Oh Lana, sweet Lana, you'll always be seen.

Verse 4

Your mama Tina, with love that won't bend,
And Bobby beside her—still family, still friend.
Your sister Sara—steady and strong,
And Carey beside her, where those kids belong.
They opened their home, pulled up a chair,
Made room for your children and wrapped them in care.
With Annabeth laughing, that house feels complete,
A safe place to land, full of love, full of peace.

Verse 5

And Todd loved you always, like his very own,
With Virginia beside him, a love fully grown.
This family you built, it still carries you through—
Every hug, every prayer still echoes with you.
Family over everything, written in love,
Held here on earth and watched from above.

Chorus

Some lives burn brighter, though never too long,
Like a beautiful verse in a half-finished song.
You loved so deeply, you gave everything—
Oh Lana, sweet Lana, you'll always be seen.

Closing

Gone far too soon, but never away,
You live on in love, in all that remains.
In your children's laughter, in all that we do—
We carry your light…
And we carry you.

Verse 1

We were three with a toy oven
Burnin' biscuits, thinkin' we were somethin'
Didn't know our lives were already tied
Through old Ocala roots and time

Back when this town was small and tight
Everybody knew your name and your life
First Baptist days, then 8th Street halls
Osceola years, then Forest calls

Pre-Chorus

From playground days to Friday night lights
We were growin' up side by side

Chorus

Hey Sisi, don't you know
You're the one who's seen my soul
Every laugh and every tear
You were always right here
Through the wild and the in-between
You've been everything to me
Yeah, you know me completely
Hey Sisi

Verse 2

Springs Theatre nights, sneakin' around
Laughin' so hard we hit the ground
Ocala golf course after dark
Runnin' wild, leavin' our mark

First Baptist halls and walkin' home
Sleepovers where we weren't alone
Kevin, Colt, John—we knew the names
And a few old stories we won't explain

Pre-Chorus

Barefoot dreams and late-night talks
Every road we learned to walk

Chorus

Hey Sisi, don't you know
You're the one who's seen my soul
Every laugh and every tear
You were always right here
Through the wild and the in-between
You've been everything to me
Yeah, you know me completely
Hey Sisi

Bridge

Waitin' out the day my daddy
Went on home to Jesus
You were right there beside me
Holdin' all the pieces

Prayin' me through cancer nights
When I was barely standin'
I prayed you through Matt's miracle
With faith and steady hands

We don't just share memories
We share the way we believe
Every tear and every prayer
God met us right there

Final Chorus

Hey Sisi, all this time
You've been the heart next to mine
Every road, every bend
You've been my forever friend
And if life rewinds our story
I'd choose you in every memory
Yeah, you know me completely
Hey Sisi

Verse 1

There he goes, down the hallway, thump-thump feet on the floor,
Tan little tank with a white-faced grin, everybody wants more.
Low to the ground but he owned the place like a king on a throne,
One look at Toby and you could tell—this house ain't never alone.

Pre-Chorus

He didn't need a lot of words,
Just that look that said, “I'm yours.”

Chorus

Oh Toby, Toby—waddle-wag, love attack,
Big ol' heart in a small, round package.
Grandkids laughing, you're right there, front-row seat,
Snorts and kisses, happy chaos at your feet.
Yeah you were the sunshine on our everyday,
Toby, Toby—good dog, good days.

Verse 2

He'd plant those paws like “This is mine,” on the comfiest chair,
Actin' like he paid the mortgage, with that stubborn little stare.
But if a kiddo needed comfort, he was soft as a prayer,
Little bulldog bodyguard, always already there.

Pre-Chorus

No fancy tricks, no perfect pose,
Just the kind of love that knows.

Chorus

Oh Toby, Toby—waddle-wag, love attack,
Big ol' heart in a small, round package.
Grandkids laughing, you're right there, front-row seat,
Snorts and kisses, happy chaos at your feet.
Yeah you were the sunshine on our everyday,
Toby, Toby—good dog, good days.

Bridge

And we still say your name like it's a song,
Like you're gonna come trottin' along.
In every giggle, every memory we keep—
You're the love in the house that runs deep.

Final Chorus

Oh Toby, Toby—waddle-wag, love attack,
Best kind of friend and we won't take it back.
Grandkids grown someday, but they'll still say, “That was him,”
That tan little bulldog with the white-faced grin.
Yeah you left paw prints on our everyday,
Toby, Toby—good dog, good days.

Outro

Good dog… good days…
Toby.

Verse 1

Born in Danville, Kentucky, the youngest of six
Five before him learned all his tricks
Now he’s hauling for Prime, got a country song soul
Singing country, country rock everywhere he rolls
Mountain Dew riding shotgun mile after mile
But a call from his Becky brings the biggest smile

Chorus

Greg’s in his prime, rolling down the line
Got Becky on his heart and home on his mind
Loves his food hot, loves his Mountain Dew
Cheers for Chase Elliott the whole race through
He can haul that freight all over this world
But he’s wrapped around the finger of his favorite girl
Ask him what he loves and he’ll tell you every time
That Becky, that’s my girl, Greg’s in his prime

Verse 2

If the menu says warning, he says that’ll do
Better bring the hot sauce and a Mountain Dew
First bite’s easy, second brings a tear
Who turned up the heat? Is it warm in here?
Becky starts laughing, he says, “I’m just fine”
With a forehead shining like a highway sign

Chorus

Greg’s in his prime, rolling down the line
Got Becky on his heart and home on his mind
Loves his food hot, loves his Mountain Dew
Cheers for Chase Elliott the whole race through
He can haul that freight all over this world
But he’s wrapped around the finger of his favorite girl
Ask him what he loves and he’ll tell you every time
That Becky, that’s my girl, Greg’s in his prime

Bridge

Chase can have the trophy, the glory and the fame
Greg’s got a winner who answers to Becky’s name
He might know the highways, every exit, every bend
But all his favorite journeys have Becky at the end

Spoken Breakdown

Becky: “Greg, you love me more than NASCAR?”
Greg: “Of course I do, honey.”
Becky: “More than Mountain Dew?”
Greg: “Greg? Now honey, I already said I love you.”

Final Chorus

Greg’s in his prime, rolling down the line
Greg’s in his prime, rolling down the line
Got Becky on his heart and home on his mind
From that Kentucky boy to the man she knows
He carries her love everywhere he goes
He can haul that freight all over this world
But he’s wrapped around the finger of his favorite girl
Ask him what he loves and he’ll tell you every time
That Becky, that’s my girl, Greg’s in his prime

Outro

Keep the engine humming, keep the cold dew near
Becky, save a kiss for me, your trucker’s almost here

Verse 1

Born in Ocala, raised on Citra days,
Barefoot down a sandy lane, sunshine on her face.
Mama’s laughter, Daddy Charlie, David, Papaw too,
She’s always been their girl, with love to see her through.
She and her brother KC might fuss and disagree,
But they’re always there for each other, like family ought to be.

Chorus

She’s surrounded by love, rooted like the pines,
Greg beside her through the changing times.
From those Citra lanes to her ICU dreams,
Love runs through her life like a thread through everything.
Through the joy and the heartache, wherever she goes,
She’s surrounded by love, more than she knows.

Verse 2

A crochet hook, some yarn, her favorite song,
Stitch by stitch, she makes something warm.
At Santa Fe, she’s chasing nursing dreams,
With caring hands and her heart set on the ICU team.

Verse 3

December twenty-eighth, she took Greg’s hand,
In Ocala, where their married life began.
She can drive a semi, take that great big wheel,
With a tender heart and a steady will.

Bridge

By her mama’s side, she cared until goodbye,
Just eighteen, with love that never died.
“I love you, Mom,” and the answer she remembers:
Her mama’s words, “Always and forever.”

Final Chorus

She’s surrounded by love, rooted like the pines,
Greg beside her through the changing times.
From those Citra lanes to her ICU dreams,
Love runs through her life like a thread through everything.
Through the joy and the heartache, wherever she goes,
She’s surrounded by love, more than she knows.

Outro

Always and forever…
Surrounded by love.

Julie’s Place, come on in,
There’s always room for one more friend.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner, made with love each day,
Good old-fashioned cooking, served the Southern way.

Come in as a stranger, leave as family,
Pull up a chair, you’re right where you should be.
Good food, warm hearts, blessings from above,
At Julie’s Place, you’re always served with love.

Julie’s Place…
Where it feels like home.

Verse 1

I know you're out there somewhere
But where, I cannot see
I've been looking all around
But you're still a mystery

I pray for you
I dream of you
I hear your voice at night

I yearn for you
I reach for you
By faith and not by sight

Chorus

So I will wait for you
Till God says the time is right
In His perfect way
In His perfect light
And when the moment comes
My heart will know it's true
In God's time
He'll lead me to you

Verse 2

I know you're out there waiting
I feel it in my soul
Though I don't know your name yet
I know I'm not alone

I pray for you
I dream of you
I'm walking by God's plan

He's shaping me
Preparing me
To be all that HE has planned

Chorus

So I will wait for you
Till God says the time is right
I'm trusting Him
To guide my life
And when He calls my name
I'll step into His truth
In God's time
He'll lead me to you

Bridge

Every prayer I've whispered
I believe He's heard
Every silent longing
He's honoring each word

Though the road feels lonely
I am not alone
God is writing our story
Before we're even known

Final Chorus

I will wait in faith
Till God says the time is right
In His perfect way
In His perfect light
And when the moment comes
My heart will know it's true
In God's time
He'll lead me to you

Verse 1

My dear sweetheart, here comes your bride
I come to you with so much pride
Knowing today I'll be your wife
And share with you this precious life

God has brought us to this time and place
I commit my life to you in faith
Hand in hand, heart to heart
Forever together, never apart

Verse 2

There were seasons yet unknown
Roads we each would walk alone
But through the years God's hand would guide
Preparing us to stand side by side

Through every prayer and every mile
Through every tear and every smile
He was writing our love story
For His honor and His glory

Chorus

So here I am, standing before you
With all my love, sincere and true
My dear sweetheart, as you can see
I now present myself to you

So here I am, standing before you
With all my love, sincere and true
My dear sweetheart, as you can see
I now present myself to you

Verse 3

You are gentle, strong, and kind
A truer love I'll never find
You lead with wisdom, grace, and care
And make me feel so safe and dear

One of God's sweetest gifts to me
More precious than you'll ever see
I thank Him every single day
For bringing us to this place

Bridge

Today we celebrate God's perfect plan
The journey He designed before it began
With family and friends gathered near
We'll laugh and dance and hold each other dear

The waiting is over, the future is bright
Together we'll walk in His glorious light
Side by side, come what may
I'll love you more with every day

Final Chorus

So here I am, standing before you
With all my love, sincere and true
My dear sweetheart, as you can see
I now present myself to you

God brought us to this time and place
Together forever by His grace
My dear sweetheart, now you can see
God brought me here for you

Verse

Got a home and ready to go
Let's get eyes on it, steal the show
From that sign in the yard to the closing day
I'll guide you every step of the way

Pre-Chorus

Every showing, every lead
Right where you're meant to be

Chorus

Listed with Sheri… now watch and see!
Pending already… just meant to be!
From listed… to pending… to SOLD with ease
Sold by Sheri… it's meant to be!

Verse

Got a house on the market, ready to go
Falbo steps in, runs the whole show
Platinum Homes and Land — that's the name
Every deal he touches turns to platinum, man

Pre-Chorus

Every listing, every lead
Falbo's the broker that you need

Chorus

Listed with Falbo… watch him move!
Numbers don't lie, he's got the proof!
From listed… to pending… to SOLD with ease
Falbo gets it done — that's the guarantee!

Falbo! Falbo! SOLD!

Verse 1

Down an old two-lane in Marion County,
Where the live oaks shade the road,
Board fences roll across the green fields,
Like a picture painted long ago.
Quarter horses grazing in the sunshine,
Colts are running, wild and free,
There's a little piece of heaven
Right here in Ocala, waiting for me.

Chorus

In the Horse Capital of the World,
Where the green grass meets the sky,
You can watch those horses gallop,
See their manes go flying by.
Underneath those old oak branches,
Where the Spanish moss unfurls,
There's no place quite like Ocala,
Horse Capital of the World.

Verse 2

Some are standing in the morning sunshine,
Some are racing with the wind,
Some are underneath an old oak tree
With a pasture full of friends.
From the little farms along the back roads
To the champions known by name,
There's something in this Marion County soil
That puts horses in your veins.

Bridge

Maybe it's the limestone underneath us,
Maybe it's the Florida sun,
Maybe God just smiled on this place
When His work down here was done.

Final Chorus

In the Horse Capital of the World,
Where the green grass meets the sky,
Where a hundred shades of beautiful
Are waiting as you drive by.
Dark board fences, ancient oak trees,
And those horses—man, what a sight!
Yeah, there's no place quite like Ocala,
When the morning turns to light.
In Marion County, Florida—
Horse Capital of the World

Come on home to North East 12th Street,
Four bedrooms, two baths and room to breathe.
Big shady oaks on nearly half an acre,
Updated inside with character to savor.
New roof, fenced yard — right in Ocala too…
1774 could be home to you!

You Can't Go Wrong With Long!

Verse 1

There's a teapot on the windowsill,
Dreaming over chamomile,
Everybody says, “Just pour the tea,”
But it whispers, “There are stars for me.”

Every morning, same old view,
Same old cups and saucers too,
But when the kitchen goes to sleep,
It dreams of places dark and deep.

Pre-Chorus

They say, “You're made for staying still.”
It says, “Maybe so—but I never will.”

Chorus

I'm not made for sitting still,
Waiting on a windowsill,
I've got steam enough to fly,
I can draw my name across the sky.
Call me foolish, call me strange,
Maybe teapots never change—
But I've got galaxies inside,
I'm a little teapot built to fly.

Verse 2

The sugar bowl just shakes its head,
“You've lost your steam,” it softly said.
The coffee cup rolls both its eyes,
“No one in this cupboard flies.”

But the little spoon climbs aboard,
With a paper helmet and cardboard sword,
“Captain, Captain, say the word!”
The strangest thing they'd ever heard.

Pre-Chorus

The teapot laughed, “Come on, let's go!”
The kettle whispered, “Don't you know—”

Chorus

I'm not made for sitting still,
Waiting on a windowsill,
I've got steam enough to fly,
I can draw my name across the sky.
Call me foolish, call me strange,
Maybe teapots never change—
But I've got galaxies inside,
I'm a little teapot built to fly.

Bridge

Maybe every ordinary thing
Keeps a secret set of wings.
Maybe all it takes is one brave spark
To light a universe in the dark.

And if they laugh because you dream
Of being more than what you seem…

Spoken

“You don't have to believe in me…
just don't put the lid on my dreams.”

Three…
Two…
One…
BLAST OFF!

Final Chorus

I'm not made for sitting still,
Never was and never will!
I've got steam enough to fly,
Watch me disappear into the sky.
Call me foolish, call me strange,
Maybe everything can change—
I've got galaxies inside,
I'm a little teapot built to fly!

Outro

Look up… look up…
What is that up in the blue?
Look up… look up…
Is that a teapot flying through?

Teapot whistle…

Spoken

“Well… would you look at that.”
