Doc Lyrics

Education, scholarship, theology
Let me add a little Ric Walston paraphrase here for you
So that you can get the context, I love truth
In a frustrating, dismal time in my life
I couldn't decipher truth from lie
Ignorance and confusion shrouded my mind
I groped for answers I didn't know how to find
You had the knowledge I was looking for
Taught and inspired me search for more
If you're going to defend the truth
You must know the truth
It is a pleasure to listen to you teach
And have my questions answered intelligently
I appreciate your scholarship and honesty
For pointing out truth where it's hard to see
Know that for whatever is or will come to be
That your influence will always be with me
It will always be with me
And I just wanted to thank you for everything
Thanks Doc for the insight you share
Thanks Doc for being there
Thanks Doc for the time that we'd spend
Thank you for being a friend
For being a friend
You know, I don't know about all this stuff
A man of education and fervent belief
A witty encyclopedia of theology
A talented man still collecting degrees
But you love truth more than your Ph.D.'s
A passion for understanding reality
And a knack for speaking lucidly
A mentor and teacher of profundity
Thank you for investing in me
Thank you
There's a significance of him speaking this with a loud voice

Man, ooh, stop there
