Not By Blood But By Design

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A long road brought me to your door, Argentina skies, a distant shore, I came for work, but love had plans, A little girl reached out her hands. Three years old with eyes so wide, You climbed right in and changed my life. [Chorus] Oh, what a gift, what a grace, A father's heart found its place, Through every season, every tear, Faith and family brought us here. Sing it loud, sing it true, Every step led me to you. [Verse 2] Dayton winters, cold and gray, A new world, a different way, You sat so quiet in that class, Wishing the lonely days would pass. Me and your momma held the line, Built a home one day at a time. [Chorus] Oh, what a gift, what a grace, A father's heart found its place, Through every season, every tear, Faith and family brought us here. Sing it loud, sing it true, Every step led me to you. [Bridge] Brenda, look how far you've come, From a shy girl to someone's mom, The Lord was writing all along. [Verse 3] Now you're holding your own little one, A brand new chapter just begun, And when I see that baby smile, I'm back to Argentina for a while. Brenda, you were always mine, Not by blood, but by design. [Chorus] Oh, what a gift, what a grace, A father's heart found its place, Through every season, every tear, Faith and family brought us here. Sing it loud, sing it true, Every step led me to you. [Outro] Brenda girl, my daughter, my pride, God's own hand, He brought you to my side.
