Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dear God
I fold these tired hands tonight
His shoes are by the door
But he’s already on that morning flight
Suitcase full of borrowed dreams
Wallet thin as winter air
He kisses her still tangled hair
And leaves his heart there
[Pre-Chorus]
He says
“I’ll build us something bigger
Brick by borrowed brick”
But the road is long and cruel
So I’m begging
Answer quick
[Chorus]
Dear God
Please walk beside his daughter
When the storms climb over her sky
Be the hand that holds her steady
When her questions start to cry
If his path must run through fire
If he’s gone for far too long
Guard the girl he’d give his life for
Be the strength when he is gone
[Verse 2]
Dear God
She draws his face in crayon lines
Waits for his voice at night
Through a flicker on a cracked phone line
He laughs to hide the aching
Says
“Princess
I’ll be home one day”
But the distance eats his daylight
Leaves him praying on the way
[Pre-Chorus]
He says
“I’ll cross a thousand oceans
Just to lay our table full”
But waves can pull a man beneath
So I’m pleading from my soul
[Chorus]
Dear God
Please walk beside his daughter
When the storms climb over her sky
Be the hand that holds her steady
When her questions start to cry
If his path must run through fire
If he’s gone for far too long
Guard the girl he’d give his life for
Be the strength when he is gone
[Bridge]
If he breaks beneath the burden (lift him up)
If his faith begins to fade
Show her eyes the hidden letters
In the future that he’s made
Let her know his silent struggle
Is a promise carved in stone
That every mile that steals him
Builds a place she’ll call her own
[Chorus]
Dear God
Please walk beside his daughter
When the storms climb over her sky
Be the hand that holds her steady
When her questions start to cry
If his path must run through fire
If he’s gone for far too long
Guard the girl he’d give his life for
Be the strength when he is gone
[Outro]
Dear God
If he never finds the words
To explain why he had to roam
Let her hear them in Your whisper
“I was leading him back home”
