The Father I Never Had Lyrics by Joel Engle

Made for Worship

0

[Verse 1]
There's a little child inside this man
Who still does not understand
Why Momma had to die
She didn't say goodbye
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
That cut my soul to pieces
I never thought I would love again
Until I met you Jesus
[Chorus]
You're the Father I never had
And Your love never changes
Through the good times and the bad
You're the Father I never had
Just hold me in Your arms and heal me of the past
And be the Father I never had
[Verse 2]
I 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 deserts of my years
They were watered with my tears
But when I met You face to face
You wiped away my fears
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Although I was rejected
You were my friend
Although I was abandoned
Your love drew me in
Oh Your love drew me in
[Chorus]
