Lyrics
DEAR FATHER
(Chorus X2)
Dear father I just want to take the time to let you know
That I know I’ve been wrong but you never let me go
I’d of done a lot of bad in my life I was lost
But you never turned your back that’s why you died on the cross
(Verse 1)
I was born raised catholic but I rarely went to church
Everytime I went to church it seemed that it wasn’t worth
The time that I was investing
Never was interesting
I had my head resting sleeping through every lesson
I quit going then and I never went back
Looking back at time I kind of resent that
My friends felt his presence
They had jesus in their life
But I was all alone
I could never see the light
I just wasn’t my self
In my life I was selfish
I started doing bad stuff
I started feeling helpless
I felt no cause
And I never used the bible
Life was meaningless
When I turned suicidal
I tried to hang myself
In my garage with my rope
Before I went to hang myself
I went to write a note
Then I made a slipknot
and tied it around my throat
As I hung from the ceiling
The rope died and broke
(Chorus X2)
Dear father I just want to take the time to let you know
That I know I’ve been wrong but you never let me go
I’d of done a lot of bad in my life I was lost
But you never turned your back that’s why you died on the cross
(Verse 2)
I’m thankful I’m grateful for everything you gave me
I should of died that day but I’m thankful you saved me
I could have been dead could of been in hell now
But the rope snapped back fast then I fell down
I’m looking back with wisdom
I knew something was missing
I knew I should of listen
But now that I am a Christian
I made the right transition
I’m in the right position
That I can live my life right
And make the right decision
I’m not saying that I’m perfect
At the surface
Everyday I read the bible
For a while
In everyway I want to know
And everyday I want to grow
And keep believing
What I’m seeing
And keep being
A wonderful human being
Should of been real from the start
I can feel it in my heart
Forgive me for all my sinning
I just want a new beginning
So I went and wrote this song
Cuz I know that I was wrong
To not bother
To have you up in my life father
(Chorus X2)
Dear father I just want to take the time to let you know
That I know I’ve been wrong but you never let me go
I’d of done a lot of bad in my life I was lost
But you never turned your back that’s why you died on the cross
