Song To The Fatherless Lyrics

He packed his bags
He was only ten
Had to face the world and be a man
Sometimes things just don't make sense
It was two years later, met him at a show
He said, excuse me Miss, but is there Hope
The tears were rolling down his face
He said is Jesus there
Does He really care
Because no ones really ever cared
Is this all my fault

God will never walk out on you
He'll be the Father that you never knew
He loves you, more than words can say
He won't leave you when you need Him the most
His love is unconditional
And you know, you put a smile upon His face

She went outside like any other day
Just wanted to go out and play
But saw the paper on her way

Saw her daddy's picture on the front page
He wasn't coming home, wouldn't be the same
She grew up only knowing his name
One day she cried, Jesus if you're really there,
I need you now cuz no one cares
Is anybody even listening

God will never walk out on you
He'll be the Father that you never knew
He loves you, more than words can say
He won't leave you when you need Him the most
His love is unconditional
And you know, you put a smile upon His face

Oh how he loves you, love you, love you
More than my words can say

Marcus Acker, Sara Acker

Song Description:
"It was a normal show, but I remember walking off stage that night feeling incomplete. I recall wondering if we reached anyone. Little did 1know that I was about to look into the eyes of a twelve-year-old boy whose words would plague me until his story was told in a song. The words that echoed in my mind were, "Every man 1ever looked up to let me down!" and through tears he cried, "It's my fault! It's all my fault!" That night he told me the most disturbing story of abuse and rejection. As he stood there with tears rolling down his face, I saw the pain of the abandoned, of millions.

The second verse shares the story of my mother's childhood. She was in the fourth grade when her dad went out "to go to the store and bUy a loaf of bread." He never came back, and it wasn't until my mother met Jesus that she realized God would be the Father she never really knew! The Bible says, "I will be a father to the fatherless." (Psalms 10:14/Psalms 68:5) 1truly believe that this applies to those who have lost a father as well as those who have been abandoned. This is a song for those who can't remember the last time they were hugged or who have never heard their parents say, "I love you!" 1pray that God will use this song to supernaturally shower love and hope on the listener. Sometimes I think fans don't realize the impact they have on the artist. Many times we hang on their words just as much as they hang on ours." - Sara Acker (Inhabited)
