Embed: She whispers to herself.
She was only 6 years old that night.
As she hid behind that shelf.
Cause daddy had a little too much to drink.
And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt.
But she still felt the pain...
Well 10 years they came and went
and dad was gone.
So she looked for love in other men.
And tried to act strong.
Broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see.
Cause she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something.
And as she sat there on her bed
thinking bout what those girls said
tears streamed from her eyes.
She cried...
"If there's a God out there
Please hear my prayer.
I'm lost and I'm scared
and I've got nowhere else to go.
I've come a long, long way.
But I'm not sure I can make it much farther...
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand.
To your daughter."
Well her path started to change.
She reached out and grabbed God's grace.
And finally, she saw a light.
Until that night...
Where she decided one drink was alright
and one thing led to another.
Next thing you know, 9 months go by
she's a mother.
And as she laid there in that bed.
Stroking that small angel's head.
Tears streamed from her eyes.
She cried...
"If there's a God out there.
Please hear my prayer.
I'm lost and I'm scared
and I've got nowhere else to run.
I've come a long, long way.
But I'm not sure I can be the best mother...
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand.
To your daughter."
Well that baby grew into a boy.
Who became her pride and joy.
He loved her like no man could.
And her heart felt peace, cause she finally understood.
God's love.
And as she laid there in that bed
99 years old.
She grabbed her son's hand and said.
"There's something you must know..."
"There is a God up there.
Who heard my prayer.
I was lost and afraid.
And I had nowhere else to go.
I had no clue, what to do
And then He sent me you."
So if you're lost and afraid
and you feel so alone
don't worry child
cause there's a Father who will love you as His own.
Just like he loved his daughter.
Like he loved His daughter.Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

His Daughter Lyrics

"Everything's gonna be alright."
She whispers to herself.
She was only 6 years old that night.
As she hid behind that shelf.
Cause daddy had a little too much to drink.
And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt.
But she still felt the pain...
Well 10 years they came and went
and dad was gone.
So she looked for love in other men.
And tried to act strong.
Broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see.
Cause she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something.
And as she sat there on her bed
thinking bout what those girls said
tears streamed from her eyes.
She cried...
"If there's a God out there
Please hear my prayer.
I'm lost and I'm scared
and I've got nowhere else to go.
I've come a long, long way.
But I'm not sure I can make it much farther...
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand.
To your daughter."
Well her path started to change.
She reached out and grabbed God's grace.
And finally, she saw a light.
Until that night...
Where she decided one drink was alright
and one thing led to another.
Next thing you know, 9 months go by
she's a mother.
And as she laid there in that bed.
Stroking that small angel's head.
Tears streamed from her eyes.
She cried...
"If there's a God out there.
Please hear my prayer.
I'm lost and I'm scared
and I've got nowhere else to run.
I've come a long, long way.
But I'm not sure I can be the best mother...
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand.
To your daughter."
Well that baby grew into a boy.
Who became her pride and joy.
He loved her like no man could.
And her heart felt peace, cause she finally understood.

And as she laid there in that bed
99 years old.
She grabbed her son's hand and said.
"There's something you must know..."
"There is a God up there.

And I had nowhere else to go.

And then He sent me you."
So if you're lost and afraid
and you feel so alone
don't worry child
cause there's a Father who will love you as His own.
Just like he loved his daughter.
Like he loved His daughter.
