Daddy's Love

This song was inspired by the Jessica Lunsford story and my love and concern for my own daughter.
On the news tonight some daddy’s girl
Went missing from her home
This world can be such an evil place
It chills me to the bone
And as I lay me down to sleep
That daddy’s face is in my mind
And as I pray for his little girl
I pray for this sweet child of mine
Chorus:
And I pray, Lord, take care of my darling
Please keep her safe from harm
May she see Your love despite all my faults
In the shelter of my arms
And some distant day when this frame’s no more
And my spirit’s called above
I pray she bows her head and thanks You, Lord
For this daddy’s love
I’ve tried to teach her right from wrong
I pray she understands
But there’s so many things I can’t control
So I leave them to Your hands
May I never doubt Your goodness, Lord
Whatever this hard world brings
But as I close my eyes before I go to sleep
I pray for this one thing
Chorus
I pray she bows her head and thanks You, Lord
For this daddy’s love
