"You Can Still Count on Us"
A Tribute Song to Sir Elmer
Verse 1
We never dreamed we'd face this day,
To watch you slowly walk away.
You led with calm in all you'd do,
And brought out something good in us too.
The work was hard, the days were long,
Yet somehow you made burdens light.
You turned a workplace into home,
Where every heart could still belong.
Pre-Chorus
Some leaders simply come and go,
But few leave roots that deeply grow.
The halls will whisper of your name,
For nothing here will be the same.
Chorus 1
Though we must say goodbye today,
Our hearts refuse to drift away.
Of all the times we've said goodbye,
This one's the hardest—don't ask why.
If ever skies should turn to blue
Remember hearts that stayed with you.
You can still count on us,
As we've always counted on you.
Verse 2
You saw our names beyond our roles,
You cared for people, not control.
You heard our thoughts before replies,
And looked at us through kinder eyes.
You taught that joy could fill our days,
Even in the busiest ways.
Because of you, we'll still believe,
Great hearts leave more than they receive.
Bridge
Perhaps God writes a different page,
Beyond the bounds of time and age.
Though roads may lead us far apart,
You'll always have a place at heart.
We'll carry on what you began,
With willing hands and faithful plans.
And when you need familiar ground,
In us, your family will be found.
Chorus 2
Though we must say goodbye today,
Our love for you will never fade.
No other farewell felt this true,
Because we treasured working with you.
Wherever God may lead you through,
Our prayers will always follow you.
You can still count on us,
Because we'll always count on you.
Outro
The story changes, not the bond.
The miles may grow, but not our hearts.
You'll always have a home with us...
You can still count on us.
