Father & Daughter

I was so proud of my little girl
As she laughed and twirled.
her very first day of school it was,
Her little mind was all a buzz.
I walked her to school that day
Her little hand in mine all the way.
She was excited, but I was sad.
I guess that’s part of being a dad.
In her brand new dress of red,
A tear came, at what she said.
She just stood there with a smile,
And said Daddy stay with me awhile.
Daddy, I want you to know,
Just how much I love you so.
With a kiss I sent her on her way,
To join the others children at play.
She looked back and did not cry,
But I had a tear as I waved goodbye.
I prayed for her when we did part,
That she would be happy and smart.
I’m amazed at how the time flew,
And how quickly my little girl grew.
I sat in the front on graduation day,
I was filled with pride in every way.
Quickly it became her wedding day,
I walked with her and gave her away.
And I cried as sat down by her mother
Our sweet little girl I gave to another.
I waited that night for my chance,
When my daughter and I could dance.
The band played our favorite song
as father and daughter danced along.
She looked at me and saw a tear,
Then she whispered in my ear,
Daddy, it’s time for me to go.
But remember I love you so.
A daughter and her dying dad
sat together quiet and sad.
She said I’ve always loved you so.
What will I do when you go?
I know you will be just fine,
For you have the same Father as mine.

I Am Saved

I Am Saved

Praise to the Father, praise to the Son
For grace and mercy has been given to me,
I’m saved by the blood of God own Son
I was lost in sin but my Lord came for me
Praise to the Father, praise to the Son
Because on that cross my Lord got it done.

All praise and glory, to his name, I am saved.
The guilt is no more the price has been paid.
All praise and glory, to his name, I am saved.
The sin has been lifted, no longer weighed.
All praise and glory, to his name, I am saved.

What Fathers Do

What Fathers Do

Surrounded by the dark I cried out to you,
And you came and you helped me through.
Father, in the middle my pain and misery,
You came not sparring your love for me.
And now I know that’s what Fathers do.

When in frustration I was angry at you,
Still you let me know your love was true.
When I was weak, thought I could not go on,
Father it was you that helped me stand strong.
And now I know that’s what Fathers do.

In a time when I did not know what to do,
With your mercy you made me brand new.
As tear filled my eyes, I know you wept.
And you stood guard over me while I slept.
And now I know that’s what Fathers do.

You are my Father and will guide me in all I do,
Your promise I claim, knowing I can trust in you.
Every time I have called on you, you came.
And your love always remained the same.
And now I know that’s what Fathers do.
Help me to be more like you,
for now I am a father too.
