Verse

Do you have someone in your life that cares about you no matter what?

That would do anything and everything he can to make sure you're okay even when it's not convenient

I do

You see, my earthly father works perversely harder than the average dad

He showed up to almost every game I had

Which was insane I'd add

What was going on in his brain I'd ask

He worked so hard that there were holes in his shoes

He wore those shoes to work even in the pouring rain

Normal parents would say you're insane

But he sacrificed to provide for my sibling and me

He even skips meals so his children can eat

Yet I don't take enough time to appreciate him

Dad, thank you

Thank you for putting up with me

Even in times when my character is ugly

Thank you for being tough on me

Never think you aren't enough for me

But most of all

Thank you for being here

Chorus

Don’t know how you did

N’t forsake your kids

Thank you Father

I wanna be like my dad and never quit

Verse

My father in Heaven

Why have you stayed with me

No matter what sin I commit

You’re still here, thankfully

You gave me the Bible

It tells me how I should live

You gave me commands to obey

I fall short and act foolish

You're the shepherd who leads me to water

You said drink it so I'll never thirst

Yet I try to clench it with juice

As if that ever works

You could've forced me to love you

But that wasn't your plan

You sent your son to redeem me

That type of love was foreign

You could've created and left me alone

Let me pay for my sin

Never got off of ya throne

Simply destroy my life

But you want us to be together

So I repent from sin

And I study your ways so I learn how to love you better

LORD, I cannot thank you enough for not givin’ up

You continue to love me even when I act sinister

Though I’ve been corrupt, I give my life to you now

Through you I will fight the good fight until my mission’s done

Chorus

Don’t know how you did

N’t forsake your kids

Thank you Father

I wanna be like my dad and never quit

Chorus

Don’t know how you did

N’t forsake your kids

Thank you Father

I wanna be like my dad and never quit
