[Verse] Tears fall like rain as Paul speaks from the heart With farewell words so raw we feel his part He's traveled the miles roads dusty and wide And now his goodbye feels like sorrow's tide [Verse 2] He served with such faith through night and the day Through trials and pain he showed us the way With care like a shepherd he tended our souls In love's gentle whisper his message unfolds [Chorus] From a shepherd's heart his words take flight Guiding us through the darkest night With a tear in his eye and a fire so bright We'll carry his love we'll fight the good fight [Verse 3] He spoke of his journey with missions in mind Of grace and of mercy ever so kind Though bound by the spirit he knows what may come Still he stands undeterred a warrior unsung [Bridge] Remember the work his hands humbly wrought The lessons of love compassion he taught For none of this life is without the cost But treasures in heaven are never lost [Verse 4] So now we must follow the path that he's laid With courage and faith that never will fade For Paul's solemn farewell echoes in our hearts From a shepherd who loved right from the start
