The Father's Vow

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The house is quiet, the lights are low,

I’m sending prayers where I cannot go.

Two pieces of my heart Lord, are beyond my hands

So I place them in Your care, I place them in Your plans.

I close my eyes and see your faces clear,

Even when I can’t hold you, Daddy’s always near.

[Pre-Chorus]

So I lift your names like incense,

To the throne of grace above…

And I trust You with what I can’t touch,

I trust You with what I love.

[Chorus]

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

May His face shine down upon you,

Jaeda and Jordyn, may you walk in His light

Through the shadow of the valley, through the darkest night.

I cover you in mercy, I cover you in grace,

No matter the distance, no matter the space.

You’re my first priority, my joy and my song,

Right here in my love is where you belong.

[Verse 2]

Jordyn, my sidekick, you’re growing so fast,

I treasure these moments, I’m making them last.

And even on the days when you’re not by my side,

Know my arms stay open, know my heart stays wide.

You are never forgotten, you’re never alone,

You’ve got a father praying before the Throne.

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I surrender every moment,

Every tear I’ve held inside…

Lord, bring beauty from these ashes,

Be their strength, be their guide.

[Chorus]

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

May His face shine down upon you,

Jaeda and Jordyn, may you walk in His light

Through the shadow of the valley, through the darkest night.

I cover you in mercy, I cover you in grace,

No matter the distance, no matter the space.

You’re my first priority, my joy and my song,

Right here in my love is where you belong.

[Verse 3]

And Jaeda, I know that the silence is loud,

But I love you forever, and I’m so proud.

Though walls have been built and I can’t see you now,

I’m fighting for you with a father’s holy vow.

Let the wind whisper what I cannot say,

That I’m waiting, believing, and praying every day.

[Bridge]

I pray for protection in your coming and going,

I pray for a river of peace to keep flowing.

I’m standing right here, I’m not backing down,

I’ll love you ’til the walls come tumbling down.

Yeah, I’ll love you ’til the walls come tumbling down!

[Bridge 2]

Angels around you, night and day,

The hand of the Father will make a way.

No weapon formed will ever stand,

You’re covered, you’re chosen, you’re held in His hand.

And I declare it, over your life:

Joy in the morning, strength in the fight.

Purpose like fire, peace like a flood,

And your story redeemed by the power of love.

[Final Chorus]

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

May His face shine down upon you,

Jaeda and Jordyn, may you walk in His light

Through the shadow of the valley, through the darkest night.

I cover you in mercy, I cover you in grace,

No matter the distance, no matter the space.

You’re my first priority, my joy and my song,

Right here in my love is where you belong.

(Tag / repeat)

Right here in my love… is where you belong.

[Outro]

Jaeda… Jordyn…

Daddy loves you.

I’m always here.
