He came into the chapel
at a truckstop near ST. Paul,
walked straight up to the alter,
his words I still recall.
                                
I know it's been a while Lord
since I've been in here.
I know that You remember me.
I know that You still care.
                                
Today I want to thank You for
the time You gave to him,
and for the days he spent with me,
I'll always treasure them.
                                
I'm thankful that I got to see
him take his first two steps.
He never would have hit that ball
without Your special help.
                                
I thank You for the day I watched
him kiss his new found bride.
Lord I'm grateful that I have
a Grandson at my side.
                                
At last,  Oh Lord I realize
You know just how I feel,
You had an only son to die
and yet You had to live.
                                
The man stood up, then turned around;
no more I heard him say.
He walked into the cold damp of
the dawning Christmas day.
