Daddy’s Girl

Lyrics

I remember the kitchen floor

The shadows on the wall

I was so tiny then

And the world felt much too tall

But I’d reach my hands up high

And I’d feel the Spirit move

A simple kind of knowing

A simple kind of love

You called me Daughter

Before I knew my name

In the garden of Your mercy

I had no fear or shame

I was just a little shadow

In the light of Your great smile

Safe within Your presence

Resting for a while

You took my hand when the road was new (Father)

Everything I needed I found in You (My God)

It’s not a fairy tale it’s the blood and the breath

The love of a Father that conquered even death

I’m a Daddy’s Girl

Held in the hollow of His hand

Walking on the water

Led to the promised land

He’s the King of the Ages

The Lion and the Lamb

But He’s my Father first

The great and holy I AM

Yeah I’m a Daddy’s Girl (Always)

Nothing in this world can change my world

Now the world is louder

And the choices weigh me down

I’ve worn the dusty road

And I’ve seen the thorny crown

When the suitors of the world

Come knocking at my door

I tell them I’ve been chosen

I don’t need nothing more

My worth isn't in the mirror

Or the labels that they give

But in the breath of the Father

That allows my soul to live

Even when I’m wandering

Your eyes are on the track

The Father of the Prodigal

Calling His daughter back

I’m a Daddy’s Girl

Held in the hollow of His hand

Walking on the water

Led to the promised land

He’s the King of the Ages

The Lion and the Lamb

But He’s my Father first

The great and holy I AM

Yeah I’m a Daddy’s Girl (Always)

Nothing in this world can change my world

The hair is turning silver

And the joints are growing slow

But the closer I get to the gate

The more I truly know

I’ve walked through the sickness

I’ve buried my own kin

But I never spent a single night

A stranger to Him

I’m still that little girl

Reaching up from the floor

Only now I’m standing closer

To the Master’s door

I’m not afraid of the sunset

Or the evening’s chill

Because my Daddy is the Maker

And He loves me still

Neither height nor depth nor things to come (Nothing)

Can separate the daughter from the Father’s love (Never)

I cry Abba (Abba)

I cry Abba (Abba)

Inheritance is mine

I am an heir to the throne

Just a Daddy’s Girl (His girl)

Yesterday today and forever (So loved)
