Lyrics

You held me close to you, minutes old

Heart to heart, we tied a bond, we'd never outgrow

Hands always there to hold me, I grew to understand

The power and strength, in the grip of a father's hand


You forgave, you guided me, your love it knew no end

I look to you, call you dad, proud to call you friend

He made you in His Image, God's perfect plan

Never ending love, in the grip of a father's hand

(bridge)

A dad is a daughter's first hero, she looks to right from the start

As she grows, no matter how old, he has his own special place in her heart



You held me my wedding day, we danced our song

Those hands that held me tight, now they wrap around my son

I take your hand, I look down, side by side we stand

I see the years, in the grip of a father's hand


All the moments of my life, in the grip of my father's hand

In my father's hand
