A Father and a Friend

It seems like I owe you my life More or less at least half of my time To dedicate, a better way to express the way I feel Maybe a walk, or maybe we can talk About our relationship You saved me since, I paid attention And the spirit hasn’t escaped me since If I had one last breath, I’d breathe again If I had a moment to spend, I’d be with Him As I’m prepared for when He comes And save my life to live and trust That God watches over me As a father and a friend When there are times I feel alone your there for me While caught between a storm, there is relief During the times I feel confused Learning that life conceals its truth Hoping a light reveals the root And a way for me to see I can talk to you in the morning while I’m awake Or on vacation away from the pain I hide away As my father and my friend From all I depend in you How could I replace
