Dark

Verse 1: Down in the heart of Louisiana's grace, A man of God but flawed in his pace, Many a wrong but with love he faced, He toiled, he gave without a trace. Chorus: Oh, this Godly man with a mighty heart, Led by faith, played the hardest part, His love, a fire, a sacred art, Left us too soon, torn apart. Verse 2: His laughter echoed like summer rain, Memories brought joy amidst the pain, In waters deep his spirit would wane, Swimming free, his soul unchained. Chorus: Oh, this Godly man with a mighty heart, Led by faith, played the hardest part, His love, a fire, a sacred art, Left us too soon, torn apart. Bridge: Far from home 'neath an alien sky, Longing for family, a tear in his eye, Southern son, in distant lands lie, Whispers to God, a heartfelt sigh. His heart in the kitchen, spices blend, Recipes with love that never end, A burst of laughter around the bend, A life of joy he'd always lend. Dark hair swooped, eyes like the night, Stature so grand, a presence so bright, Quoting lines with childlike delight, To this world, he was a guiding light. verse 3 Far from the South, from the love of his kin, Longing for home, for the warmth within, A life in chapters, a tale to spin, God's word in hand, his kindest twin. Final Chorus: Oh, this Godly man with a noble soul, Through every hardship, he did roll, A shepherd's hand, he reached his goal, Gone too soon, but forever whole. Outro: In every heart, his story's told, Dark hair and eyes, so brave and bold, His laugh, his charm, will never fold, In God's embrace, forever hold.
