Daddy loves me

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

Just be quiet, just be still
And watch what I will do
There is no shame in trusting Me
I’ve always been for you

Your worries cannot make you rich
Or blessed or filled with joy
But I will give you all these things
You’ve always been My boy

I made you and I placed you here
And I have drawn you out
With gladness as the angels cheer
And they all start to shout

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Our God Almighty
He always wants what’s best for us
No matter what we might be
