This is a song I wrote for my daughter Katy. I never got to meet her (it's a long story) and she died of SIDS at the age of 5 months old. My heart has grieved for what could have been since the day she went home to Jesus. I just wanted to share this short song I wrote for her. God bless.
"The Father I Can't Be"
Sometimes as I close my eyes
I see her face again.
She's snuggled up in my lap;
you know she's my best friend.
So I listen to her heart beat,
and I clutch her to me tight.
I hold her safe in my arms,
hold her through the night.
But in the light it's just a dream;
so I fall to my knees.
I bow low before my King,
and send up a desperate plea.
I pray...
Hold her close Jesus,
sing a song just for her and me.
Whisper her a bedtime story,
be the Father I can't be.
You know I love her Jesus.
She's everything to me.
So hold her tight Jesus,
and be the Father I can't be.
You know I love her Jesus
so be the Father I can't be.
