Tim Malchak - Letter to My Father Lyrics

I sat down to write a letter to my father
And tell him how I've missed him all these years
He was a good man just like any other
But to me he was protection for my fears

Sometimes he was the source of my frustration
When he left with no warning I was just fifteen years
But death moves in just like a thief at midnight
Leaving behind an abundance of tears

I always thought he'd be there when I needed
A firm hand to guide me and keep me strong
But after all this time at last I see it
His love lives in me it's been here all along

I wrote another letter to my Father
The One Who gave His only Son for me
Thanked Him for the grace that I discovered
And His sacrifice that set me free

Now I know He's always there when needed
A loving hand to guide me perfect and strong
After all this time truth bears repeating
His love lives in me its right here in this song
After all this time truth bears repeating
His love lives in me its right here in this song
