Why does it seem like I’m all alone?
He said He’d be here; we did start together
He led the way, and now I can’t find Him
Where are you Dad?
I’ve wandered from the path
I’ve gone astray
I’ve waded into deceptive waters
And it’s hard to get a hold of who I really am
This pain inside, it makes me feel so aimless.
Daddy, You said You’d walk with me
You said You’d never leave nor forsake me.
Did I get on this road without a thought?
Did I make this decision in a hurry?
Did I consider the cost of this journey?
Did I anticipate trials and tribulations?
Did I ever think I’d no longer need you?
Daddy, it’s hard to keep pace with You
No thanks to my own strength
How did I ever think I could do this on my own
How did I ever take my eyes off you?
How did I ever give place to the devil?
Now I can no longer find the path,
The path You laid before me
My fears, the shame and guilt blur my sight
The world and its façade; it’s hard to look away.
How could I forget that I’m on a journey?
Did it slip my mind that I’m just passing through?
I’m I walking without the end in sight.
I am not my own, yet I act otherwise.
You have called me,
Yet I live with my back turned to You
Daddy, where am I?
Yet something keeps tugging at my heart,
It keep pulling me
Is that Your voice? It seems like a whisper
I can barely hear, yet I know it’s divine
I can hardly see, yet I know it’s glorious
I can barely taste, yet I know it’s sweet.
I hear the call, I see the face
It’s Your light,
The light of Your countenance
It has shined forth on me
In a moment, as I reflect,
I remember your name — Emmanuel
I remember who You are,
My Shepherd, My King, My Creator and Maker
It all begins to come back
You are revealed again
My daddy is the first and last.
Alpha and Omega
My daddy is the ancient of days,
The one and only
Can I walk with You and remain the same
Help my faith, aid my weakness, strengthen my arm
On this narrow road, Carry my burdens
I remember what You did,
You paid the ransom
Saved by grace, I started this journey with You
I remember that time,
There was lots of excitement, great joy filled my heart
I remember, there’d be tribulations,
“Nevertheless cheer!” You said
You overcame the world.
And even in the lows, it can only last for a moment
Ultimately I am more than a conqueror
Help me Daddy,
Take my hand and help me find my way back to you
I want to love you with the first love
Lead me to the cross, ignite the fire once again
Flood my life with your grace
And help me follow hard after You
Daddy never left me after all
Daddy’s grace got me back on the road, Daddy lives in me
Daddy, help me to live for you and You alone
Help me, never to fail You
May my will be swallowed up in yours,
Help me to lose myself in you
May I never again get into this unfamiliar place
Let Your face be ever before me.
I love You Daddy!
