My Father’s Love

VERSE 1

Before life removed all the innocence

My father would dance with me

Hold me in his arms and play with me

Make up songs and sing to me

Then lovingly he would hold me

And I knew for sure that he loved me

If I could get another chance, another walk

Another dance with him

I’d play a song that would never ever end

How I’d love love, love, to dance with my father again

INTERLUDE

Back when I was a baby girl

Before I was too heavy to be carried

My father would lift me high

And he’d smile at me Oh, how he loved me

He gave me a name that meant so much to him

Then prayed for me and spoke good things over me

And I knew for sure that he loved me

I’d love to spend an extra hour, an extra day

Some extra time with him,

Oh how I cherish those moments we shared

And I’d love love, love, to dance with my father again

INTERLUDE

When I became an older child

That’s when I thought I knew it all

I despised my father’s words

I just ignored and avoided him

I thought he didn’t understand my ways

With old ideas that were long, long gone

But right now I see, I was wrong

My father’s words were very right.

The problem was me. How foolish I have been

I wish I could turn back the hand of the clock

Just for one more chance to be with my father again

INTERLUDE

Or understand father’s love for me

Now I am grown I can clearly see

The many things he did just for me

INTERLUDE

MODULATION

I know I’m asking a lot dear Lord

But would you please tell him I love him so dearly

So many mistakes with my father’s love

So dear Lord I pray, turn his heart to me again

Lord I pray to you please
