The Father I Never Had

There’s a little child inside this man
Who still does not understand why Moma had to die;
she didn’t say goodbye
And Daddy left without a trace
I never even saw his face – was I to blame?
I still feel the pain of a
Heart shattered like glass to cut my soul to pieces
I never thought I’d love again, until I met you, Jesus
And You’re the Father I ne - ver had
And your love never changes through the good times and the bad
You’re the Father I ne - ver had
Just hold me in your arms and heal me of the past
And be the Father I ne - ver had…
There was a teenage boy in a small town
Standing outside the crowd
Unwanted and unclaimed, a face without a name
Almost every night I’d cry and cry
Asking the questions why Mom and Dad would leave
This lonely son to grieve
The distance of my years They were watered with my tears
But when I met You face to face You wiped away my fears
And You’re the Father I ne - ver had
And your love never changes through the good times and the bad
You’re the Father I ne - ver had
Just hold me in your arms and heal me of the past
And be the Father I ne - ver had…
Although I was rejected, You were my friend
Although I was abandoned, Your love drew me in;
Oh, Your love drew me in…
And You’re the Father I ne - ver had
And your love never changes through the good times and the bad
You’re the Father I ne - ver had
Just hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
and heal me of the past and be the Father I ne - ver had…
