My Daddy's Knee



Lord?
I just wanted
my daddy to hold me and
put me on his knee
 
Why did he
push me away and
say get the hell away from me?
 
I'm just
a little girl,
doesn't he know I
need my daddy so much?
 
Oh to be held
in his arms so tight
and to feel his warm touch.
 
I'm so sad,
Lord? I do not
understand why?

Why doesn't
he love me and
kiss my boo boos goodbye?
 
My daddy
does not smile
very much Lord, can you
tell me why? Hurry please?
 
He seems mad
all the time, he
yells a lot, I cover my
ears and I duck and sometimes flee.
 
I whisper to You,
please Lord help my daddy
why does he have to be so sad?
 
Some days
are different,
he seems happy and
will smile and he is glad.
 
Could You talk to him
for me Lord? Could You tell
him, hey stop doing that?
 
When I get nervous
and afraid Lord I eat and
he tells me I'm fat.
 
Oh what's the use
Lord in talking to You?
 
My daddy
says You are
not real and I'm dumb
if I believe it too.
 
Remember Lord?
When I lost my library
book, that day in the snow?
 
Oh I was so afraid,
I was in big trouble and
You did know.
 
When the snow
melted that spring,
remember what I found?

Yes,
my library
book in perfect
condition, all safe and sound.
 
Lord? I do not know
what happened to my daddy
when he was a little boy.
 
I was thinking,
maybe he was hurt so bad
and maybe his daddy broke his toy?
 
If it is ok
with you Lord, I will
keep praying for my daddy
that You would help him, like You help me.
 
He is my daddy
and I want him to know
You and to be happy and see.
 
Thank you God
and thank you Jesus,
I love you too.

God, Guess what?
I do not have that hurt
in my heart, it's gone, thank you.
  
I will talk to you
again Lord and thank you
for listening to me.

You pulled
me up on Your lap
and sat me on Your knee.

Malachi 4:6
And he will turn The hearts of the fathers
to the children, And the hearts of the children
to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse."

Luke 1:17
And he shall go before him
in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn
the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the
disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord.
