Chorus 1

Ain’t no liquor hard enough
Ain’t no pill that’s strong enough
To get these chains off of me
I hear You calling for me
I need saving
Gone my way for long enough
Hope that Your arms
Reach far enough
To save the lost boys like me
Even a wretch like me

Chorus 2

‘Cos I got blood all
Over these hands
One last time and I’m back again
Is it true You can turn
The sinners to sons and daughters
I hope so ‘cos I need a Father

Verse 1

I don’t think we can know
How deep the pain endure
When a Father leaves
Every Father that I’ve
Ever had has abandoned me
Silently I’m suffering
Always think eventually
Everyone gon’ give up on me
What’s a Father’s love to me
Almost change my last name
His legacy corrupted me
Took me to his friends’
House never came
To check up on me
A 6-year-old alone with another teen
She stole my innocence
Can barely speak on what
She done to me
Hey listen hate that
I can’t forget it
Hate when they talk statistics
Don’t play with
Our fatherlessness
It multiplies our addictions
And multiplies hypertension
We forgive it or we relive it yeah

Ain’t no liquor hard enough
Ain’t no pill that’s strong enough
To get these chains off of me

I need saving
Gone my way for long enough
Hope that Your arms
Reach far enough
To save the lost boys like me
Even a wretch like me

Verse 2

Follow me to healing
Tell you how we did it
Every Father was a son
Who needed a Father figure
Needed a better vision
From the day that we repented
I am broken too not
Making him no bigger sinner
I’m forgiven now my Father
He is better than the better ones
And I kept my last name
We’ll make it to a better one
Never leaving Never
For my sons I’ll forever be
It everything I know I needed
Thank You Jesus
