Daddy

Fifty-nine years ago, I opened my eyes

To the very first hero I'd know in my life

You worked so hard with a determined hand

A loving protector, a Godly man

Through every season, you kept us safe

And showed me what it means to walk by faith

You left such big footprints for us to fill

Following your steps and trusting His will

You proved that a hero doesn't need a cape

When you have a heart that leads the way

You made the choice that changed it all

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

I cherish the moments that we get to keep

Like porch swing coffee, quiet and sweet

Then watching you stand up to preach the Word

The truest example I've ever heard

Daddy, you showed me what a life can be

When you live it out for your family

You left such big footprints for us to fill

Following your steps and trusting His will

You proved that a hero doesn't need a cape

When you have a heart that leads the way

You made the choice that changed it all

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

For all of these years, you stayed on the path

Guiding our family and holding us fast

You taught me that strength isn't muscle or might

But folding your hands in the middle of the night

Prayer is the superpower you always use

Daddy, I’m so thankful that I was given you

You left such big footprints for us to fill

Following your steps and trusting His will

You proved that a hero doesn't need a cape

When you have a heart that leads the way

You made the choice that changed it all

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

Yeah, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
