I never had a single thing My Daddy could not mend And all the things he had to fix Just seemed to have no end He's fix my little table up, And then I'd break my chair And then I'd find my dolly Had somehow lost her hair Later on as heartaches came With many shattered dreams Everything would be all right When Dad was there it seems Oh, I believed within my heart That he could fix it all And tired or not, he never failed To answer every call As I grew up, I noticed What I had not seen before My Dad was looking pale and thin And resting more and more Oh how I wanted to fix for him Whatever there was wrong While knowing deep inside somehow He was not here for long Then suddenly God called him home This world he did depart And my Daddy left me here to face A sad and broken heart I wondered who I'd turn to now For it was plain to see I now had something broken Only God could fix for me Copyright Idella R.

If in this life you have troubles, Don't worry or fret and frown . . . Your problems will only seem larger, And soon they'll be getting you down. Just look up to the One who can help you, And soon with your faith and your prayer . . . Those troubles will surely get lighter, Because Jesus Christ will be there to share! |
