A Daddy Like Mine
This is the story of a Daddy
One who is silly and fun and strong
I am the little girl who loves him
And he loves me…deep and high and long
Little girls are funny creatures
Created tenderly by another Daddy’s hand
They love to love and laugh and imagine
Sprinkling beauty upon their land
You watch me dance through this life
With huge giggles and a grin
You look at me and shake your head
Secretly wondering where I’ve been
(So here’s a little secret)
I still remember the delight of Heaven
My innocence is what Jesus loves best
I remember twirling with the angels
And knowing how deeply I was blessed
Perhaps that’s where my wonder comes in
As I explore and trust easily
That’s why God gave you to me
To guard my innocence carefully
See, Daddy’s to girls are carefully chosen
They play a leading role in her story
She looks to him for love and protection
In his love you see her glory
And you, sweet Daddy, exceed them all
You’re playful and strong and wise
Out of all the great things I have in this world
You Daddy, are my greatest prize
But perhaps the most important of all
Is the way you allow me to remember and see
The sweet Father who made me
