God knew I needed you

Verse 1

You walked into my life when I was already grown

Didn’t have to love me, but you made me your own

I wasn’t a little girl, didn’t need someone new

But God was writing a story, and He led me to you

You showed up steady, no spotlight or fame

Just quiet devotion and unconditional care

You filled a space I didn’t know was still bare

With a father’s heart and a constant prayer

Pre-Chorus

They say blood makes family, but love makes it true

And somehow, God made me a daughter through you

Chorus

You’re my first call when my car breaks down

My first call when my kids do something I gotta tell someone about

You love my mama the way she always deserved

You put God first and your family third

You’re the dad I didn’t ask for, didn’t see coming through

But God knew I needed you

Verse 2

They tell me I’m just like you, I walk how you walk

I talk how you talk, got your heart when I love

Funny how life makes it all come around

I found a real father when I wasn’t looking to be found

You taught me strength doesn’t always shout

Sometimes it’s showing up, day in and out

You didn’t replace what was missing before

You just became something deeper and more

Pre-Chorus

You stepped in with grace, no pressure, no proof

Just a steady love and a living truth

Chorus

You’re my first call when my car breaks down

My first call when my kids do something I gotta tell someone about

You love my mama the way she always deserved

You protect this family and stand on God’s Word

You’re the dad I didn’t want, but the one God chose

A blessing wrapped in work boots and quiet hope

Bridge

You didn’t have to claim me

Didn’t owe me a thing

But you gave me a father

And that changes everything

I love you more than these words can say

More than this melody can explain

You showed me what a real man does

You showed me chosen love

Final Chorus

You’re my first call in the hard and new

My first call in the miracle moments too

You love my mom like heaven planned

You hold this family with working hands

I’m proud to say I’m your daughter now

By God’s design, not just last names somehow

You’re the dad I didn’t know to ask for, but God sent through

Yeah… God knew I needed you

Outro

So here’s my thank you, straight from my heart

For loving me like I was yours from the start

Forever grateful, forever true…

God knew I needed you.
