Lyrics

Verse 1
Oh Burk my brother
I want to thank you for all you have done for others
You’ve given so much for so many through the years
They may never have said it but the Lord gives you credit
as gifts to Him, from the gentle heart of his special man

Chorus
You need to know how valuable you are
You have devoted people in your life
James, Katherine, Caroline and Hilda your wife
You are an example of what a man should be
You are a blessing to many and to me

Verse 2
Remember when you and I would fight and fool around
till mom would have to hose us down,
Remember Wrestling, and track at Brookfield East
Camping in the North, Pine lake fishing for a feast
Good memories of good past days and loving ways

Verse 3
Burk, your integrity surpasses most any other
honoring Otto our Father and Maria our mother
The many gifts you’ve given most will never see
the lives you’ve touched will never be the same
but part of your legacy of what a man should be

Bridge
Thank you friend!
Thank you for a life that we could share
Thank you for the memories, the good
and those at times most difficult to bear
In those times we still had each other
I’m grateful to have shared them with you, my brother

Outro
Burk, your acts of kindness have not gone unnoticed
you are a mentor to many who may never understand
the privilege of knowing a Godly man who cares
a life full of Jesus’ love with a willingness to share

Well done, good and faithful friend!
