Song for Dad

The little girl sits on her Daddy's knee,
He plays with her ringlets, she says, "Pretty please,
Will you tell me a story before I go to bed?"
He nods and she smiles and he kisses her head.

"How bout a story about Jesus Christ?
He lived and he died and he loves you for life."
And she said, "Oh Daddy, I love Jesus too,
I want him in my heart, now what do I do?"

The little girl's older, not little anymore.
Her Daddy can't wait for what God has in store.
He watched as she's baptized, his eyes start to swim.
He can't hide the tears, as she walks back to him.

She says, "I love you Daddy, you showed me to Christ,
And now it's to him that I give up my life.
I hope you'll both guide me for all of my days.
You've shown that you'll love me for now and always."

His little girl there, tears of joy in her eyes.
He wipes them away, he says "Honey don't cry,
You're a beautiful bride and today is your day,
And I hope that I'm ready to give you away."

They never knew life would pass by them so fast.
But they'll have their memories and a wonderful past.
Daddy showed daughter God's love from the start,
And she'll always hold him a place in her heart.
