Father's Love

Bob Carlisle


Three feet tall and full of questions 
You must have thought I was the smartest man alive 
I didn't always have the answers 
To every little how and where and why 

Like Daddy, why's the sky so blue today?
Does Jesus really hear me when I pray?
When I grow up, will I be just like you?
Will I be tall and strong and brave?

CHORUS(1): 
There is no power on earth like your fathers' love 
So big and so strong as your father's love 
A promise that's sacred, a promise from heaven above 
No matter where you go... always know 
You can depend on your father's love 

Especially when it's cold, especially when you're lonely 
When your little heart is lost trying to find it's way 
I know the world is always changing 
But, remember son, that some things never change 

And even when my life on earth is through 
There will still be a part of me in you 
'Cause some things are forever 
Nothing's ever gonna take my love from you 

CHORUS(2): 
There is no power on earth like your father's love 
So big and so strong as your father's love 
A promise that's sacred, a promise from heaven above 
Did I hug enough, did I care enough 
When you most needed me, 
Was I there enough 
Enough to make you feel the power of 
Your father's love
