The one you need.

I have two beautiful daughters. I love them so dearly that I’m sometimes saddened by the fact that they have to grow up. About a year ago I really wrestled with my views of God and to be honest, my mistrust of God. I was afraid to trust and follow him completely because I was afraid of what that would mean for my family. I was afraid that he would send us some place to suffer. For some reason, the narrative I had of God was that if I let him, he would make me suffer to grow in my knowledge of him.

That was, of course, untrue. Over the last year it’s been a really incredible journey for me of discovering the God Jesus loves. There are still a lot of things I don’t understand, but one thing I know for sure is that he is trustworthy.

A few months ago I heard this song for the first time. It choked me up because my sentiments are now so similar. I love my daughters so much, but I know I can never love them with a perfect love. But Jesus can.

Shane and Shane are incredible, and this song is amazing. It still chokes me up a bit when I picture my little girls.

Lyrics:

Hey hey sweet daughter
I am so proud to be your father
Each day is like a gift from God

Hey hey sweet daughter
There’s no music like your laughter
And your smile is like a rising sun

You know I loved you from the start
So come in close
Take my hand while
Daddy shares his heart

I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I’m gonna let you down
But there’s Someone if you just believe
He’ll be your hero like He’s always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one you need

No matter what you walk through
He will always love you
Just the way you are
For there’s nothing in this world
That I want for my baby girl
That she’ll be happy ever after

The story of your life is still untold
I pray the King of all the Universe
Would make your heart His home

I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I’m gonna let you down
But there’s Someone if you just believe
He’ll be your hero like He’s always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one

He will never leave
He’s been there all along
Already You can find true love

I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I’m gonna let you down
But there’s Someone if you just believe
He’ll be your hero like He’s always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one you need
