Daddy
by Dion

Album: The Best of the Gospel Years

Daddy will you tell me a story
Bout Your kingdom and Your glory
Of that time long ago
And all those people You know
So well

You know, Dad, I like the one 'bout the children
Who were lost in that wilderness
And how they learned to trust You
How You guided them to the promised land

Will You tell me again bout that reason
For everything You've done
Would You call me son

Daddy tell me 'bout that shepherd boy
And how You wouldn t let Your people be destroyed
How that giant was slain
With faith in Your Name on that day

I like the part where the boy became king
And he taught the people how to praise and sing
All those songs about You
How You carried them through the dark

And will You tell me again bout that reason
For everything You've done
Would You call me son

Cause Daddy I long to be
Held in Your security
Bound in Your loving arms
For all time

And Daddy I want to be
By Your side eternally
Bound in Your loving arms
For all time

"I know it's gettin late Dad"
"But could you just tell me one more story"
"I'd really like to hear the one about the baby Jesus"

Tell me again bout the manger
The child that came as a stranger
And how He grew up to be
The One to set free the world

Tell me all about the things He did
Healing the sick and loving little kids
How He died on the cross
For the sins of the lost in the world

Will You tell me again 'bout that reason
For everything You've done
"Was it for me, Dad"
"Is that why You gave Your only Son"
"Oh Dad, I love You too"

Will You tell me again bout that reason
For everything You ve done

And Daddy I need to be
Bound in Your security
Held in Your loving arms
For all time

Daddy please tell me a story
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
