[HOOK: ARIS YANCEY]
ALL THIS LIFE YOU SEARCHED AROUND
LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO SHOW YOU THE ROPES
AND YOU FOUND NO ONE,
SO YOU QUESTION WHO TO GET LOVE FROM
YOU CAN FIND A FATHER IN HIM
HE MAKES NO MISTAKES
JUST CALL ON HIS NAME
HE’LL BLOW YOU AWAY



[VERSE 1: TENSE]
IN THIS LIFE, MAN, YOU BEEN ON A JOURNEY
TRYNA FIGURE OUT LIFE ON YA OWN
YOU FULL OF MUCH GRIEF, MANY WORRIES
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU A KID, EVEN THOUGH YOU FULLY GROWN
I KNOW YOU BEEN IN SUCH OF A HURRY
TRYNA FIND YOU A PLACE TO CALL HOME
DEEP DOWN MAN YOU VEXED
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WAS LEFT IN DAYCARE
YOU DON’T KNOW HOW MANY MORE DAYS YOU CAN TAKE HERE
YOU FEEL THIS LIFE WAS A MISTAKE AND IT AINT FAIR
GREW UP IN THE SLUMS, BY THE WAY, POPS AINT THERE
CUZ HE EITHER BEEN SHOT, WAS POSTED ON THE BLOCK
OR WAS TOO SCARED WHEN YOU POPPED OUT
TRUST ME, I BEEN THROUGH THE SAME
MY DAD STOLE FROM ME, SOLD DRUGS, BEEN IN AND OUTTA PRISON
BUT I ADMIT THAT I FORGIVE HIM
AND I CHERISH EVERY MOMENT THAT I GET TO SPEND WITH HIM
BUT WHEN HE’S NOT AROUND, WHO CAN TAKE HIS PLACE
EVERYTHING ELSE MIGHT TAKE UP SPACE
THAT’S WHAT I USED TO SAY
BUT IT’S A FATHER WHO WANTS TO ADOPT YOU
AND HIS NAME’S JESUS, HE WANTS TO FATHER YOU TODAY

[HOOK]

[VERSE 2: TENSE]
NOW IF YOU LIKE ME, YOU GREW UP IN THE HOUSE WITH YA MAMA
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, A HOUSE WITH NO FATHER
MOST DADS DOING NO GOOD
ABANDON YOU LIKE A HOUSE IN THE HOOD
OR LIKE YOU OUT IN THE WOODS
HEY, YOU BOTTLED UP, YOU WOULD SHOUT IF YOU COULD
BUT YOU SCARED TO LET IT OUT
BRO OPEN UP YA MOUTH
YOU’LL KILL YASELF IF YOU DON’T VENT
ACTIN LIKE YOU AINT HURT HOMIE, WHEN YOU GON' QUIT
DRUGS AND WOMEN, THAT AINT GON' FIX
ALL THE DAMAGE ON THE INSIDE
YOU CAN PRETEND THAT YOU HARD, BUT YOU CAN'T PRETEND PAIN DON’T EXIST
YOU HURTIN CUZ YOU WISH YOU HAD A DAD, JUST ADMIT
WELL LEMME SAY IT AINT THANG THAT YOU MISSED
CAUSE THE WHOLE TIME GOD WAS IN THE MIDST
I PROMISE YOU THIS
JUST OPEN UP AND FOLLOW HIS SCRIPTS
YOU AINT NEVER HAD A POPS LIKE THIS
HE’LL NEVER LET YOU SLIP
WHAT HE WANTS IS YO' FELLOWSHIP
HE WANTS TO SHOW WHAT A REAL FATHER’S LIKE IF YOU LET HIM
IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO LIVE YA' CHILDHOOD AGAIN
GOD’S NOT THE ONE TO MAKES MISTAKES HOMIE, IT’S ONLY MEN

[HOOK]

[BRIDGE: ARIS YANCEY]
FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS
MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER ASK FOR
HE'S SO MIGHTY
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH NO MORE

[VERSE 3: TENSE]
JESUS SAID, I WONT LEAVE OR FORSAKE YOU
HE’S ALWAYS WATCHING OVER YOU, BOTTOM LINE HE IS FAITHFUL
JESUS AINT THE TYPE OF FATHER THAT’LL PLAY YOU
BUT INDEED THE FATHER THAT WANNA SAVE YOU
ON TOP OF THAT, HE WANNA RAISE YOU
AND BE THE ONE YOU TELL OTHERS WHEN YOU SUFFERED, MAN HE CAME THROUGH
FAULTLESS, HE WON’T BLAME YOU
HE ALREADY KNOWS YOU GOT FLAWS, BUT HIS LOVE REMAINS TRUE
NO HE AINT A SPERM DONOR, FLAT OUT HE MADE YOU
HOMIE ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS BLOW YOU AWAY
IN THIS LIFE, HE WANTS TO SHOW YOU THE WAY
TO DEPEND ON HIM, WHEN NOTHING SEEMS TO BE GOIN' YA' WAY
YA' OLD LIFE, HE’LL HELP YOU THROW IT AWAY
PLUS HE NEVER BLINKS, EVERYDAY HE’LL HELP YOU GROW IN THE FAITH
LISTEN, I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
EXCEPT THAT I HOPE AND I PRAY
THAT YOU WOULD GET TO KNOW HIM TODAY (YES)
