My Daddy dear

I’m often misunderstood

Sometimes I’ve been bitten 

But it doesn’t matter now 

The narrative’s rewritten 

Cos it’s all for the good 

And the glory of the kingdom 

Here 

I may have been misjudged

I may have been mishandled 

Or more light was required

From my weak flickering candle

But it’s covered by the love

Nothing left of all the scandal

Here 

As I look back on the past 

Sort my wheat out from my chaff

I just smile and sweetly laugh 

With you

My Daddy dear

How richly blessed we are 

How easy now it is 

From the bottom of the heart

To forget and to forgive

For the love that fills the void 

Blows away the deadly noise

Of fear 

There may have been a cyclone

There may have been been a storm

We may have viewed each other

With envy, hate or scorn 

But we’ve crossed over the river

And nothing’s in the form

It once appeared

As I look back on the past 

Sort my wheat out from my chaff

I just smile and sweetly laugh 

With you

My Daddy dear 

Maybe I had been criticised 

Beaten to a blitz 

By bitter words anaesthetised

My heart became a fridge 

But these battles of my mind

Are water under the bridge 

They’ve disappeared 

As I gaze now at the cross 

When all your friends had scattered 

I also have felt lost

My hopes and dreams all shattered 

But washed now by your blood 

Only one thing now matters 

This is clear 

As I look back on the past 

Sort my wheat out from my chaff

I just smile and sweetly laugh 

With you

My Daddy dear
