Sitting on the front porch,
Waiting for you to come home
Visions of reuniting in my head
Only bitter-sweet memories, no holidays, no Christmas trees
Broken promises I've got instead
How I used to wonder, "Where did I go wrong?
How you could have stayed away so long?"
Thank God for my mother,
Her's was no easy song
Thank God that He showed me how to get along
My papa was a rolling stone
Abandon us and left us 'lone
And how he broke my heart and hope; had me loose my faith
Somebody knows what I've been through
I've understood, I've been there too
So let me introduce you to my father, Father
Your story sounds alot like mine
It's a story heard a thousand times
Someone hurting leaves in disaray
Don't you know that God made you more valuable than they ever knew?
You know you can live past their mistakes
Oh, how I used to wonder "How could all this be?
Someone that you loved so much just turns their back and leaves"
Oh, you need the lover of you soul and
He is able to take care of you annd
He will never leave
Your papa was a rolling stone
Abandoned you and left you 'lone
And how he broke your heart and hope
He had me loose my faith
I'm seeing what you're going through
I understand, I've been there too
So let me introduce you to my father, Father
I was lost and out of controle
Then He found me and saved my soul
Let me lead you to the one I know
He can make you whole
No longer I wonder,
Solid ground under my feet
I know what my life is worth,
No longer incomplete
I just want to tell you,
You are truly loved,
By the Maker of the Heavens,
the Creator of the Earth
You know He's got His hands on you and
That is more than enough
My papa was a rolling stone
Abandoned us and left us 'lone
And how he broke my heart and hope; had me loose my faith
Somebody saw what I've been through
They understood, They've been there too
They gladly introduced me to my father, Father
Your papa was a rolling stone
Abandoned you and left you 'lone
And how he broke your heart and hope
He had me loose my faith
I'm seeing what you're going through
I understand, I've been there too
So let me introduce you to my father, Father
Tell me what you're going through
I understand, I've been there too
So let my introduce you to my father, Father
God
