Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He never had to brag
He let the truth stand tall
With work still on his hands
And mercy in his call
A quiet kind of power
In every step he took
You learned how to be honest
Just by the way he looked
[Pre-Chorus]
He taught me how to bend
Without ever breaking
How to keep my word
When the world was shaking
If I stand here now
It’s because he showed me
[Chorus]
Hands like oak, heart like home
Steady through the rain
Hands like oak, heart like home
He wore love like grace
And when my name gets called
I’ll carry what he gave
Hands like oak, heart like home
Still guiding me today
[Verse 2]
He’d sit in the back row
Sunday suit pressed clean
Not asking for the spotlight
Just living what he means
He kept the doors open
For anybody hurt
And every careful action
Was preaching louder than words
[Pre-Chorus]
He taught me how to bend
Without ever breaking
How to keep my word
When the world was shaking
If I stand here now
It’s because he showed me
[Chorus]
Hands like oak, heart like home
Steady through the rain
Hands like oak, heart like home
He wore love like grace
And when my name gets called
I’ll carry what he gave
Hands like oak, heart like home
Still guiding me today
[Bridge]
I hear him in my choices
In the way I forgive
In the long road back
When I forget how to live
No gold, no praise, just truth
And a room made safe
That kind of faithful living
Stays longer than a name
[Final Chorus]
Hands like oak, heart like home
Steady through the rain
Hands like oak, heart like home
He wore love like grace
And when my name gets called
I’ll carry what he gave
Hands like oak, heart like home
Still guiding me today
Hands like oak, heart like home
Forever in me now
