Song lyrics:
Build Up My Heart (Mozaic Room) (Balkey)
Steve's a man of principle
Loved by everyone
Steve made music fill this room
Now Steve is moving on
If you ask Steve for just one bit
Of advice 'fore he departs
You might learn something that Steve taught me
'Bout building up your heart
I build up my heart / with everything that's me
All the different parts / in all their subtleties
I (Am)build it strong and true / the only way I know
Like a mosaic room / all these pieces of my soul
Steve can be a peacemaker / and he can be the bridge
And, keep friends all the while
Steve's a man of faith / and a champion of spirit
Keeps both reconciled
Pastor Steve has the challenge to get
Folks to share their heart
Music’s a bridge that Steve presents
To help the people start
(chorus)
A man of generosity / he’ll work to cloth a stranger
With compassion and a song
He’ll rally up the folks he knows / to help a dear friend
A man you can count on
Each of us are blessed to know him
And, I can tell you this
Steve left a mark, now he moves on
And, his warmth we’ll surely miss
