Daddy's Prayer

The old man sat in silence

As he watched his children cryin'

For to their mother

They said their last goodbye

Reached out to console them

With teardrops in his eyes

As he bowed his head to pray

They heard him say

Please Lord forgive me for my sins

When my time on this old world comes to an end

When you hear me knock on heaven's door

Please Lord let me in

So I can see my darling once again

Now he knew he hadn't always

Chose a straight and narrow way

But he put his faith

And promised Jesus name

And in his final hour

With his children gathered round him

Before his last breath

They heard their daddy pray

Please Lord forgive me for my sins

When my time on this old world comes to an end

When you hear me knock on heaven's door

Please Lord let me in

So I can see my darling once again

When you hear me knock on heaven's door

Please Lord let me in

So I can see my darling once again

So I can see my darling once again
