Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Dear God I fold these tired hands tonight His shoes are by the door But he’s already on that morning flight Suitcase full of borrowed dreams Wallet thin as winter air He kisses her still tangled hair And leaves his heart there [Pre-Chorus] He says “I’ll build us something bigger Brick by borrowed brick” But the road is long and cruel So I’m begging Answer quick [Chorus] Dear God Please walk beside his daughter When the storms climb over her sky Be the hand that holds her steady When her questions start to cry If his path must run through fire If he’s gone for far too long Guard the girl he’d give his life for Be the strength when he is gone [Verse 2] Dear God She draws his face in crayon lines Waits for his voice at night Through a flicker on a cracked phone line He laughs to hide the aching Says “Princess I’ll be home one day” But the distance eats his daylight Leaves him praying on the way [Pre-Chorus] He says “I’ll cross a thousand oceans Just to lay our table full” But waves can pull a man beneath So I’m pleading from my soul [Chorus] Dear God Please walk beside his daughter When the storms climb over her sky Be the hand that holds her steady When her questions start to cry If his path must run through fire If he’s gone for far too long Guard the girl he’d give his life for Be the strength when he is gone [Bridge] If he breaks beneath the burden (lift him up) If his faith begins to fade Show her eyes the hidden letters In the future that he’s made Let her know his silent struggle Is a promise carved in stone That every mile that steals him Builds a place she’ll call her own [Chorus] Dear God Please walk beside his daughter When the storms climb over her sky Be the hand that holds her steady When her questions start to cry If his path must run through fire If he’s gone for far too long Guard the girl he’d give his life for Be the strength when he is gone [Outro] Dear God If he never finds the words To explain why he had to roam Let her hear them in Your whisper “I was leading him back home”
