[Verse 1]
|
He took everything from us,
|
but he let us keep our fear.
|
He robbed the little picture called a family,
|
taken long ago, went away for so many years.
|
|
And it was as though
|
he took joy in listening to our tears.
|
And he would never apologize,
|
cause his pride was blinding.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
But God is my true father.
|
He will never let me down.
|
My God is unchanging.
|
He's gotta be, He's got to be,
|
The best father around.
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
He'd cover his lies with scripture,
|
and he let us believe every word.
|
Growin' up, for me, wasn't easy.
|
No, No.
|
Like nothing you've ever seen or ever heard.
|
|
My mom is the bravest woman that I know.
|
She held fast to God's love,
|
and never let us go.
|
That's why you know
|
|
[Chorus]
|
That God is our true father.
|
He will never let us down.
|
My God is unchanging.
|
He's gotta be, He's got to be,
|
The best father around.
|
|
[Bridge]
|
I had the choice of cocaine,
|
or I could have been a heroin.
|
But God's love took a hold of me.
|
|
That's why I know,
|
And we know,
|
And you should know
|
|
[Chorus]
|
That God is our true father.
|
He will never let me down.
|
My God is unchanging.
|
He's gotta be, He's got to be,
|
The best father around.
|
|
Around, around, around,
|
Around.
