There's two things I know for sure:
She was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
and I thank god for all of the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair;
"Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning And butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remember.....

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you, Daddy,
But if you don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time."
Oh with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right
to deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by.
Precious butterfly.
Spread your wings and fly.

She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride-room just staring at her.
She asked me what I'm thinking and I said
"I'm not sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
She leaned over

Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses

I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.
I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses...

I was the lonely one inside
Seemed like my prayers had been denied
I'd come to the decision
to never find a love that's true

Down on my knees again, in prayer,
Oh lord, please send someone to care
My best imagination
could not have dreamed someone like you

You must have been an angel, I can tell
By the heavenly way my heart fell
Oh, it was spiritual, a miracle
That an angel
Would fall in love with me

You've got that heart of gold, I swear
You are the answer to my prayer
And so much heavenly power
to make a mortal dream come true

Oh you were heaven sent, I know
For even when lights are low
I can almost see, I see a halo
Girl I'm so in love with you

Girl, I'm so glad I found you
Gonna wrap my whole world around you
Oh, It's gonna be so heavenly
Just you and me.....

In the final days of summer, 1944,
with just a preacher and a witness and a humble band of gold,
They set out to find the future, not a penny to their name.
Still with all the unknown danger, she knew her heart was safe,
cause..

He was a rock
He was the one that she ran to
And when he said the words "Forever"
She knew that it was true

He wasn't a saint
But he was saint enough for her
He was a man,
A man of his word.

In the final days of summer, 1964,
found a family undivided, divided on the war.
Turning son against his elder, debating wrong and right,
He was the image of his father, though they would not see eye to eye,
still...

He was a rock
He was the one the boy ran to
Cause' when he said the word "I Love You"
He knew that it was true

And even in the worst of storms
There was an anchor in his world
He was a man,
A man of his word.

Clutching a strong belief in the bible,
through all the sweetness in his life, and the bitterness of war,
He knew what God had made him for...

In the final days of summer, 1994,
surrounded by his family and the presence of the Lord.
He set out to find his future, the one he'd always known,
He didn't want to leave his family, but he knew deep in his soul,
The lord had called him home...
cause...

He was the rock
He was the one the man ran to
And when he said the words "forever"
He knew that it was true

He wasn't a saint
he is the one the saints bow to
Receiving a man,
A man of his word...

He was the one that I ran to
Cause when he says the word "forever"
I know his word is true

He isn't a saint
He is the one the saints bow to
Come to teh man
The man of his word.

My soul's in motion, movin' on this righteous thing
You're doin' in me, here in me
My sole devotion 'bout to makin' me wanna sing
In harmony, harmony

Singing bout' the joy I've found walkin' on holy ground
Don't you know, there's absolutely no room for doubt
I'm counting on the promises You made, the life that You gave
That's where I wanna go

Oh me, oh my
I'm on my way to paradise
So sweet, so nice
I'm on my way to paradise

Good Lord, I'm ready
Ready for anything, anything at all
I'm movin' steady, I'm walkin' on the narrow road
That's gonna lead me home, right on home

I can almost see myself walkin' on the streets of gold
I can almost hear the Angels calling my name
I'm gonna see Him face to face, eye to eye
And that's where I wanna go

Oh me, oh my
I'm on my way to paradise
So sweet, so nice
I'm on my way to paradise

Oh me, oh my
I'm on my way to paradise
So sweet, so nice
I'm on my way to paradise

Oh me, oh my
I'm on my way to paradise
So sweet, so nice
I'm on my way to paradise

Oh me, oh my
I'm on my way to paradise
So sweet, so nice
I'm on my way to paradise

No greater love, no lesser grace
No greater distance than the one that I have made
You crave my heart and miss our quiet time alone
Have I become as hard as stone?

I need a one man revival, a renewing of my heart
To capture me before I stray too far
It's the one thing I cry for and the only way I know
Is a one man revival

In my soul I know I've turned away it seems
Yet you pursue me while I'm busy chasing dreams
My dreams aren't worth the sacrifice of my first love
What I should be dreamin' of

I need a one man revival, a renewing of my heart
To capture me before I stray too far
It's the one thing I cry for and the only way I know
Is a one man revival

In my heart I'm disappointed
How my perfect world should be
But if I'm gonna see a change
There's got to be a change in me

I need a one man revival, a renewing of my heart
To capture me before I stray too far
It's the one thing I cry for and the only way I know
Is a one man revival, just a one man revival
Just a one man revival

You should know me by now.
I've always been straight with you.
I've always tried to sing about the truth the way I see it,
In a mixed up world where truth is
hard to find.

I ain't no spiritual superman.
Don't always give a shiny, bright example
of what a believer ought to be.

I ain't never parted the ocean, though I really think I could
if I had the faith of a mustard seed, like the Bible says I should.
I ain't never moved a mountain, I ain't never felt that need.
But the one thing God has tought me to see...

I can have faith
A mountain of hope
I can even speak with tongues of angels
Tell you everyting I know
But it doesn't mean a thing in this world
Without a mighty love

I can be strong
I can stand tall
I can point squarely at the mountain
And command that it be gone
But it doesn't mean a thing in this world
Without a mighty love

I ain't standin' no mount.
I'm not tryin' to preach to ya
and tell you that I've found all the easy answers.
when half the time I can't even
find my keys.

But I feel like a regular Billy Graham
when I start talkin' bout my Jesus,
and all that he's done for me.

Don't you know that I've received forgiveness through no
effort of my own.
I've been given so much mercy, so I'll be the last to throw a stone.
And I apologize, if you think that I'm coming on too strong.
But there's just one thing I want you to know...

I feel your touch,
I can feel your heart
As I'm lying here alone in the dark
I hear your voice gently say "come to me'
I long for your love as the earth longs for the rainfall
I'm weary Lord I've wandered this desert too long

CHORUS
So come Living Water flow through me like a river
My heart's been thirsting so long
Flood through my soul and pour out your mercy
Come Living Water fill me

Lord so many times you've called my name
And I've turned my face the other way
Yet before I even saw the womb you loved me
How can I be so blind when I alone have created my darkness
Forgive me and wash me clean again.

Oh, my life is filled with white-hot anxiety,
Though I think I wear it very well,
I still worry bout' what people might think of me
if they ever saw me past my outer shell.
Believe me, I know how to worry.
I've chewed my fingernails to the bone.

Oh, I've got my share of problems
Still it is well with my soul

Sometimes I wrestle with my conscience
Still it is well with my soul

Lord, I think about all that you've done for me.
Lord, I think about it all the time.
But sometimes a ghost from the past starts
really haunting me,
sticking those awful feelings in my mind.
I won't let it get to me, no.
I ain't walking down that old, dark road.

Oh, I've got my share of problems
Still it is well with my soul

Don't always know just how to solve them
Still it is well with my soul

Since I've been given true forgiveness
And it is well with my soul

I'll be about my father's business
And it is well with my soul

In my soul
I can see clearly
In my soul
Through the darkness surrounding me
Once you've tasted and seen
Then you'll know what I mean
There ain't nothing gonna keep me down,
so...get up...

Oh, I've got my share of problems
Still it is well with my soul

Don't always know just how to solve them
Still it is well with my soul

Sometimes I wrestle with my conscience
Still it is well with my soul

Still I know that I've got true forgiveness
And it is well with my soul

Stand, with all my might and still I seem to fall I try to walk before
I even crawl ohh it seems im like a child in me again a helpless heart
a broken man.
Strength, is something that's so very hard to find but still I know the
truth it must be blind so I sacrifice my heart to god in prayer lay my
weakness down and I'll find you there.
I can stand tall
On my knees, I can see forever, on my knees, I can face it all,
I feel like I can climb a mountain cause on my knees the worlds a
little smaller and I stand taller on my knees.
See a man in a garden long ago he went along as the weight of sins
unseen and lies unknown came to rest upon his weary shoulders he
knew my name he took my pain
so I can stand tall
On my knees I can see forever on my knees I can face it all
I feel like I can climb a mountain cause on my knees the worlds
a little smaller and I stand taller on my knees.
There's a piece that shadows anything I know I lay down every
burden and im free
I can stand tall
on my knees I can see forever on my knees I can face it all
I feel like I can climb a mountain cause on my knees the worlds
a little smaller on my knees

(Bobby C.)
Right over here now, children
(Talk to me)
Oh, we can talk about anything at all

(What do you see?)
I can see all the lonely people
All of them looking for the answer
All of them listening for that call

(Poverty)
The likes of which I can't seem to remember
(Disparity)
The likes of which I just can't recall

(So how can it be?)
That even with the hope that we have inside us
Still we seem to let those things divide us
That don't amount to anything at all

All your life, you've been prepared
For this single, precious moment in time, oh
When Jesus calls, what will you say?
I'm here and I am Yours and my answer, Lord, is

Yes, I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able
To answer Your every call
Oh yes, I'm much more than willing
I've got a desire that's burning like a flame
I'm gonna be ready when You call my name

([Incomprehensible])
Right over here, now, children
(Talk to me)
Anything that's on your mind

(What do you see)
What I can see all the hungry children
Being denied a decent meal to fill them
I feel no fault of their own

All it takes is simple faith
To turn the situation around, oh
Love can break the strongest chains
So I'm here and I'm ready and my heart is saying

Yes, I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able
To answer Your every call
Oh yes, I'm much more than willing
I've got a desire that's burning like a flame
I'm gonna be ready when You call my name

Just let me be Your hands
Let me touch the heart of this broken world
Father, just give me Your command
And I'll do anything, I'll go anywhere

Oh yes, I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able
To answer Your every call
Oh yes, I'm much more than willing

I've got a desire that's burning like a flame
I'm gonna be ready when You call my name
Lord, when You call my name

Oh yes, I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able
Oh yes, I'm much more than willing
I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able

Oh yes, I'm much more than willing
I'm gonna be ready, I wanna be able
Oh yes, I'm much more than willing
