Father to the Fatherless

Duke Smith

G F#/D

If I stumble, if I fall.

C F#/D

Turn my back, Lord, deny it all.

G F#/D

If the path I’m walking looks so dim.

C F#/D

I’m bruised and broken, how about then?

Am7 G F#/D

I’ll give my life to You,

Am7 G F#/D

And you will see me through.

G Am7

‘Cause You’re the Father to the Fatherless

Bm7 C

You’re a Daddy to this child

G Am7

Through all my life I’ve waited for you

Bm7 C G Am7 Bm7 C

Won’t you stay with me awhile, just a little while.

G F#/D

When I’m strong Lord, when I’m weak

C F#/D

If I’m quiet, if I speak

G F#/D

With tongues of angels or tongues of men

C F#/D

And have not love, Lord, how about then?

Am7 G F#/D

I’ll give my love to You,

Am7 G F#/D

And you will see me through.
