He was the first one out the block strong dedicated
Young fiery kid going hard never hesitated
To get up in the morning for his campus
He was calling out for his friends

Had a measure of anointing so strong
A spiritual leader at a dead church, they would watch in awe
As he danced alone to every worship set
Never cared what the people said

But then the moment would pass
When instead of his faith, he started doin the math
His heart was cut up in half, he felt used by his pastor,
He traded in his joy for man made laughter

Burnt out, sold out, gave up, gave in, caved in
When the people all failed him
Look into his eyes, you could see he's hungry
Not for religion but for a good family

Young man don't be discouraged
Take heart be of good courage
Someone sees everything you do
I feel the Father blessing you

He's a Father to the Fatherless...

You've heard the story of a girl without a dad
So sweet so innocent but never had
A righteous man speaking over her
Nobody there to tell her that she was worth

A joy, the King's Favorite One
But those words are foreign to a girl growing up
Without a Father in her corner
Nobody there to stand for her. Well,

She says, "the whole world's mad at me"
She claims a false solidarity
And after all the boys threw her to the side
She can't trust anybody in her life

She says, “It's over”
She'll have a little bit of joy and get older
Living an ordinary life
Pick up a job and be anybody's wife

Young girl listen to this story
He's all about you and He's restoring
Your innocence and your childlike faith
Look up, He's making you brave

He's a Father to the Fatherless...

I pray strength
I pray life
I pray you feel your Father's heart of Joy and His Delight
Pouring down so heavy over you
Your Father's proud of you
