Lyrics

Daddy
Written by Bruce Bergh


He greets me with a hug as he welcomes me back home.
His smile's a welcome sight for me to see.
The spirit in his laughter brings back years of memories.
It's great to have him back again with me.

"Daddy", the first word that I'd ever say.
I know he still remembers the day I called out his name.
"Daddy". He gave me everything that I had.
Lord, thanks for every moment with Dad when I said "Daddy".


She greets me with a hug, as she welcomes me back home.
Her smile's a welcome sight for these poor eyes.
The joyful sounds of laughter warms this weary traveler's heart.
She speaks her precious words which make me sigh:

"Daddy", the sweetest sound that I've ever heard.
My heart melts whenever the word is spoken to me.
"Daddy", a small voice calling for me,
Lord, help me answer patiently, when I hear "Daddy".


He'll greet me with a hug as He welcomes me back home.
The welcome sights and sounds of heaven ring.
Joyous spirits singing the praises of His name,
The Universal Father, Lord and King!

"Daddy", the sweetest sound that He ever hears.
He's tuned into my life with both ears, listening for me.
"Daddy", a small voice calling for Thee.
Lord, help me to wait patiently when I pray "Daddy".
