Twang!

My little boy came home from school
Said Daddy some bully picked a fight today
He pused me down on the playground
Kicked me in the stomach, and spit in my face
I took one look at his little black eye
And I felt my temper like a tempest rise
I asked him did he stand his ground
Did he get back up and knock him down
Did he make his daddy proud
Did he make him pay
And he said

Chorus:
Daddy I tried to be a man today
And they all laughted and called me chicken
When I turned and walked away
I wanted so bad to hit him
But in my mind I heard you say
What would love do
(What would love do)
What would love say

He said Daddy are you disappointed
And it took what little breath I had left
To tell him he was just the son I wanted
And it takes a big man to forgive and forget
I looked into my little angel's face
And I felt the power of amazing grace
Lord, help me practice what I preach
Teach me to turn the other cheek
Though my spirit's willing, still my flesh is weak
But I heard You when he said

Chorus:
Daddy I tried to be a man today
And they all laughed and called me chicken
When I tured and walked away
I wanted so bad to him him
But in my mind I heard you say
What would love do
(What would love do)
What would love say

What would love do
What would love say
