DADDY'S GIRL

[MIRIAM JACOB]

Daddy’s Girl

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh Father of the Heavens, and the whole earth

Can I curl up on Your knee, and can You wrap

Your Eternal Arms around Your little girl

Can I rest my head upon Your chest

So I can hear how Your heart beats, for Your princess



Can I listen to how it’s rhythm, composes

Love songs just for me

And how the words, tell of my worth

My value, and my beauty



Father, I hurt deep down inside

And, I still don’t understand why

So, can You hold me for just a while

I need to know You are proud of me

And see Your kind, tender smile



Father, I need Your embrace

I need to feel the warmth of Your grace

I need, what my heart longs for

I need to know I am cherished, loved and adored



Give me a new revelation of Your love

Please make me understand, and comprehend

That nothing I do will cause You to love me more,

And nothing I have done, can cause You to love me less



Your Light, and Your Love, breaks down the walls I have built

Your Grace and Your Mercy, heals my shame and guilt

Your loving kindness draws me to You

And the Power of Your Word, destroys all the lies

I have listened to



Heavenly Father, You have brought me so far

And You have healed, so much of my soul and heart

But even if I lived a thousand years,

I will never completely understand, why

You have allowed me to cry, so many tears



Father, I cannot live if You were not holding my hand

And if Your Everlasting arms where not holding me

Some days, I wouldn’t have the strength to stand



If I had not known You, and listened to how

Your heart beats for me

I don’t know who, what, or where I would be

You are my Heavenly Father, and although I never understood

Your love, for such a long time

I know, You love Me, unconditionally

And I live every day knowing

Your Righteous right hand

Is holding mine



I have no need to fear, because You are with me

I do not need to dismayed, because

You are my, Saviour, my Friend, my Lord, and my God

You will strengthen me, and be my Rock

You will uphold me in Your powerful, strong hands

I am secure in knowing

I am a precious child of the Almighty God, the Great I AM



You are My Father and I will

Delight in knowing, that I will always be

You are my Father, and I love You

And I know, beyond a doubt, You love me



You have filled that emptiness

And given me Hope in exchange

For my hopelessness

Every girl needs her Daddy

To give her, her value and her worth

Every girl needs her daddy to wipe away

The tears when she hurts

You are the Perfect Father,

The Father of the Heavens and the Earth

You are my Father, and I will always be Daddy's Girl
