Proxy of My Life

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:17, ESV)

He can’t remember
The times that he thought
Does my daddy love me?
Probably not
That didn’t stop him
From wishing that he did
Didn’t keep him from wanting
Or worshipping him

He guesses he saw him
About once a year
He could still feel
the way he felt
Standing in tears
Stretching his arms out
As far as they’d go
Whispering dad
I want you to know

[Chorus:]
I love you this much
And i’m waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I’m never giving up
no matter what
I love you this much

He grew to hate him for
what he had done
’cause what kind of father

Could do that to his son?
He said ‘damn you daddy’
The day that he died
The man didn’t blink
But the little boy cried

[Chorus:]
I love you this much
And i’m waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I’m never giving up
no matter what
I love you this much

Half way through the service
While the choir sang a hymn
He looked up a the preacher
And he sat and stared at him

He said
‘forgive me father’
When he realized
That he hadn’t been unloved
Or alone all his life
His arms were stretched out
As far as they go
Nailed to the cross
For the whole world to know

[Chorus:]
I love you this much
And i’m waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I’m never giving up
no matter what
I love you this much
