I saw two little feet
Walking in my footsteps
And I heard a little voice
Askin' things I didn't know
I touched some tiny fingers
That reached out for direction
If she's gonna follow me
I need to know just where I'll go

If she's following me
Then Lord I need to follow you
If I'm a living example
I need a whole lot of your life
And if the steps I take
Will influence her forever
I can't afford to lose
Lord help me make it right

I've wasted so much time
Seeking after wordly pleasures
Yet with every passing day
Lord you knocked at my hearts door
Though I gave you rejection
You just kept right on loving
But you sure got my attention now
Through Daddys little girl

If she's following me
Then Lord I need to follow you
If I'm a living example
I need a whole lot of your life
And if the steps I take
Will influence her forever
I can't afford to lose
Lord help me
Make it right

I can't afford to lose, Lord help me, make it right
