Best Father Around

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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
