Now I Can See It

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet on this Sunday morning An old hymn rising soft and low Some lessons take a lifetime learning Some seeds take years before they grow I was lost out in the storm, Lord When you opened up your door [Chorus] Thank you, Daddy, I can see it now Every word you spoke was true somehow You were stern 'cause you loved me so Now I'm grown and Lord, I know Alfredia Loston, rest in glory I'll carry you wherever I go [Verse 2] You took Johnny and Larry in your arms When I couldn't hold my own You and Mama Alma gave them shelter Raised my boys like they were yours Put your life on hold, gave all you had Turned a broken house to home [Chorus] Thank you, Daddy, I can see it now Every word you spoke was true somehow You were stern 'cause you loved me so Now I'm grown and Lord, I know Alfredia Loston, rest in glory I'll carry you wherever I go [Bridge] I'm 67 now, and I understand Why you held so tight to my hand You said there'd be days like this Oh Daddy, it's you I miss [Verse 3] You walked this earth for 93 Told the truth and never bent Now I can't pick up the phone to call you Can't say all the thanks I meant So I lift this song up to the heavens For you and Mama, heaven sent [Chorus] Thank you, Daddy, I can see it now Every word you spoke was true somehow You were stern 'cause you loved me so Now I'm grown and Lord, I know Alfredia Loston, rest in glory I'll carry you wherever I go [Outro] Rest now, Daddy, rest now, Mama Your daughter's heart still holds you I'll love you till I'm home
