I wrote the song I have a Father in the Cévennes in France, where a Swiss lady challenged me to come with nothing, without an agenda, to God. And in the quiet times with God, He will give all of us everything we need.

LYRICS:
I come with nothing.
You give me everything.
I come with empty hands.
You give me songs to sing.
And I love You, Maker of the stars in the sky.
And I need You, Saviour of my soul now lifted high

Chorus:
I have a Father. He’s giving me the love I’m looking for;
close like no other. He’s leading me to streams and open doors.
And for the first time in my life, I don’t feel alone. I’m not on my own.
And with this great love I will thrive
I am home...

I come with nothing.
You give me everything
I come with empty hands.
You give a song to sing.
And I praise You, Father you have loved me from the start
And I feel you. Lord, You are the Shepherd of my heart

Refrein:
I have a Father. He’s giving me the love I’m looking for;
close like no other. He’s leading me to streams and open doors.
And for the first time in my life, I don’t feel alone. I’m not on my own.
And with this love ohh I will thrive
I am home...

I have a Father, and He leads me
I have a Father, and He sees me
I have a Father...
