Never liked to fight ; tried to do what’s right -
Be a friend and lend a helping hand
But he’d stand his ground -
You couldn’t back him down . . .
Didn’t have much school but he was no fool
Had faith and wisdom too
It never took him long . . .
He’d tell you right from wrong . . .

Looking back now it’s plain to see
Times he did without ‘cause he was giving to me
And I know where I’m from and because of him,
I know who I am
Just as sure as the sun is shining
And tonight there’ll be stars up above -
Never was no doubt - I had my father’s love

Trouble comes around ; life can get you down -
Make you wonder how you’ll ever survive
Only one thing sure - you don’t get out alive . . .
Once the story’s told the truth will leave you cold
There’s a debt and it’s got to be paid
It finally made me see . . . I had to be set free . . .

Looking up now it’s plain to see
Jesus gave His life - now He’s living in me
I know where I’m going ; it’s because of Him,
He’s the great ‘ I Am ’
If the sun don’t come up tomorrow
And all of the stars fall from high up above
This will never change - I have my Father’s love
No, it’ll never change - I have my Father’s love
You know it just won’t change -
I have my Father’s love
