Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Daddy woke me with the dawn,
tied my shoes and sent me on.
Showed me how to stand up straight,
how to carry what I can’t escape.
He taught me patience, taught me grace,
wiped the tears right off my face.
When the world came hard and fast,
he said, “Baby, this too shall pass.”
[Pre-Chorus]
And every scar I ever wore
turned to strength, turned into more.
I looked around and I could see
his steady love was building me.
[Chorus]
Thank God for a father like you
(oh, thank God)
You loved me through and through
(through and through)
You made the woman in me shine
(from your light)
Thank God for a father like you
(oh, thank God)
[Verse 2]
You showed me how to choose my lane,
how to bend but never break.
How to speak with a gentle fire,
how to reach a little higher.
You taught me stories, truth, and time,
how to keep my faith in line.
Every step I take today
still carries what you gave away.
[Pre-Chorus]
And when I faltered, you stayed near,
made the road less full of fear.
Now I know just who I be
'cause your love was laid in me.
[Chorus]
Thank God for a father like you
(oh, thank God)
You loved me through and through
(through and through)
You made the woman in me shine
(from your light)
Thank God for a father like you
(oh, thank God)
[Bridge]
If I rise, it’s from your prayers,
from the way you always cared.
Every victory, every yes,
starts with all you did your best.
And if I ever lose my way,
I can hear the words you’d say:
“Keep your head up, walk in truth,
little girl, I’m proud of you.”
[Chorus]
Thank God for a father like you
(oh, thank God)
You loved me through and through
(through and through)
You made the woman in me shine
(from your light)
Thank God for a father like you
(oh, thank God)
[Outro]
Thank God for a father like you
He guided me, made me new
Thank God for a father like you
I’m who I am because of you
