Father To The Fatherless
Destitute and broken
Craving someone kind
Hoping life will treat them fair
Going place to place
Pain written on their face
Longing to be free from despair
Will you take them in?
Will you show them God's heart
He's a Father to the fatherless
He defends His little kids
He stands with them at doors and knocks
Are you going to let them in?
He wants their hearts to be restored
Will you be His hands and feet?
When a child walks into your life
It's really God you meet
First they're sad and scared
You feel unprepared
Don't worry, all they need is time
Some cry through the night
Stand up for them and fight
Not many've cared for them before
Will you take them in?
Will you show them God's heart
He's a Father to the fatherless
He defends His little kids
He stands with them at doors and knocks
Are you going to let them in?
He wants their hearts to be restored
Will you be His hands and feet?
When a child walks into your life
It's really God
The tragedy they're not with family
That's not lost on me
The privilege they now call me Daddy
That's not lost on me
He's a Father to the fatherless
He defends His little kids
He stands with them at doors and knocks
Are you going to let them in?
He wants their hearts to be restored
Will you be His hands and feet?
When a child walks into your life
He's a Father to the fatherless
He defends His little kids
He stands with them at doors and knocks
Are you going to let them in?
He wants their hearts to be restored
Will you be His hands and feet?
When a child walks into your life
It's really God you meet
Yes It's really God you meet
Oh It's really God you meet
Craving someone kind
Hoping life will treat them fair
Going place to place
Pain written on their face
Longing to be free from despair
Will you take them in?
Will you show them God's heart
He's a Father to the fatherless
He defends His little kids
He stands with them at doors and knocks
Are you going to let them in?
He wants their hearts to be restored
Will you be His hands and feet?
When a child walks into your life
It's really God you meet
First they're sad and scared
You feel unprepared
Don't worry, all they need is time
Some cry through the night
Stand up for them and fight
Not many've cared for them before
Will you take them in?
Will you show them God's heart
He's a Father to the fatherless
He defends His little kids
He stands with them at doors and knocks
Are you going to let them in?
He wants their hearts to be restored
Will you be His hands and feet?
When a child walks into your life
It's really God
The tragedy they're not with family
That's not lost on me
The privilege they now call me Daddy
That's not lost on me
He's a Father to the fatherless
He defends His little kids
He stands with them at doors and knocks
Are you going to let them in?
He wants their hearts to be restored
Will you be His hands and feet?
When a child walks into your life
He's a Father to the fatherless
He defends His little kids
He stands with them at doors and knocks
Are you going to let them in?
He wants their hearts to be restored
Will you be His hands and feet?
When a child walks into your life
It's really God you meet
Yes It's really God you meet
Oh It's really God you meet
