His Daughter

                   G
Everything's gonna be alright
             D
 She whispers to herself
                      Am
 She was only 6 years old that night
                         C
 As she hid behind that shelf
                        G
 Cuz daddy had a little too much to drink
                              D                    Am
 And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt
                          C
 But she still felt the pain
                     G
 Well 10 years they came and went
              D
 And dad was gone
                          Am
 So she looked for love in other men
                     C
 And tried to act strong.
     G                               D
Oh broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see
      Am                                  C (Once)
 Cuz she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something


[Bridge]

    G
And as she sat there on her bed
 D
 thinkin bout what those girls said
 Am
 tears streamed down her eyes
      C (Once. Pause)
 She cried


[Chorus]

               G
 If there's a God out there
 D
 Please hear my prayer.
      Am
 I'm lost and I'm scared
          C                     G
 and I've got no where else to go
                         D
 I've come a long, long way
                         Am                   C (Once. Pause.)
 But I'm not sure I can make it much farther      ...
                G                   D
 So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
            G        Am       C
 To your daughter.


[Verse]

G
 Well her path started to change
     D
 She reached out and grabbed God's grace
     Am                   C (Once)
 And finally, she saw a light
 (No chord)
 Until that night where
 G
 She decided one drink was alright
         D
 and one thing led to another
       Am
 Well next thing you know, 9 months go by
       C
 she's a mother.


[Bridge]

      G
 And as she laid there in that bed
 D
 Stroking that small angel's head
 Am
 Tears streamed down her eyes
      C (Once. Pause)
 She cried


[Chorus]

               G
 If there's a God out there
    D
 Please here my prayer.
     Am
 I'm lost and I'm scared
          C                        G
 and I've got no where else to run
                         D
 I've come a long, long way
                        Am                   C (Once. Pause)
 But I'm not sure I can be the best mother
              G                     D
 So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
         G            Am        C
 To your daughter.


[Verse]

G                D
Well that baby grew into a boy
 Am               C
 Who became her pride and joy
     G
 He loved her like no man could
          D                                      Am (Once. Pause)
 And her heart felt peace, cuz she finally understood
      C
 God's love.


[Bridge]

     G
 And as she laid there in that bed
 D
 99 years old
       Am
 She grabbed her son's hand and said
            C (Once. Pause)
 There's something you must know...


[Chorus]

            G
 There is a God up there
     D
 Who heard my prayer
       Am
 I was lost and afraid
        C                     G
 And I had no where else to go.
             D            Am
 I had know clue, what to do
                      C (Once. Pause)
 And then He sent me you.
              G
 So if you're lost and afraid
          D
 and you feel so alone
              Am
 don't worry child
                                C (Once)
 cuz there's a Father who will love you as His own
                            G      Am    C
Just like he loved his daughter.
                    G             Am        C
 Like he loved His daughter.
(End on G)
