Verse 1:

I was a babe 

born squealing, bawling awake

And I was a pain

yet you held me

you held me close

Though of sinners I am the most

And you had my hand from that time on.

Chorus:

Father thank you for your love to me

Dad you've lead me to the cross I see

You have always made your council He

I can't thank you enough 'cause your example changed me.

Verse 2:

I was a kid 

who was selfish, tried every trick.

Yet that didn't stop

Your love for me

You helped me choose

Salvation's path and you gave a clue

You trained me to fear

the One True God

Verse 3:

I am a teen,

trying hard to follow the king

Thanks to your work,

I can sing (to him).

If I have need

you are waiting, ready to feed

You're always there

to feed my soul.

Bridge:

I don't want to let it end today.

You can bet I'll pester you for help on the way.

As as I march into a world,

your training follows me.
