You always know when I’m drifting
When I’m lost or I’m hurt
Somehow you know the pleadings of my heart

Before I’ve spoken a word
When i fail You’re there
To catch me and say
I know you did the best that you could
Just like a Father
Just like a Father would

You gently show me my weakness
And then You teach me how to change
And though I wander in my journey
Your love always remains
When the heartache comes and I’m devastated
Somehow You turn it for my good
Just like a Father
Just like a Father would

Your heart breaks when my heart is breaking
Because You’ve been down this road before
When You desperately want to rush in and help
You know I need to learn these lessons for myself

You know the burdens I carry
How they’ve built like a dam
You help me see the mistakes that I’ve made
They don’t define who I am
You softly whisper when it’s time to let go
And I hold the heartache longer than I should

You believe in me
You love me perfectly
As only the Father of my spirit ever could
Just like a Father
Just like my Father would
