Story behind the song
I struggle with being a dad, feeling that I'm not good enough. About a year ago I wrote a little poem expressing these feelings and tossed it aside. In June, I found that poem and wrote the chorus in response to my older poem and the song progressed from there.
Lyrics
I tried to obey my mother
followed rules at the jamboree
What can I do now a family's depending on me
I feel so ill prepared that they'll suffer for my mistakes
Till I remember my God who never leaves or forsakes
I'll follow my leader. The first Father's still the best
I'm not in this alone, I know where to go to keep my family blessed
God has plans for my future, I've got to follow His plan
God knows how to make the most of a man
I know life won't be perfect until God calls me home
I'm a broken man in a fallen land where trouble comes on strong
My wife and I will pray together and worship at Jesus feet
In the midst of the stress of our work and our mess, somehow we'll be complete as I
chorus
I know that I'm not perfect. God you don't expect me to be
Still I'm the one that you have chosen to raise this family
So I'll do what it takes and I'll learn from mistakes with my eyes fastened on you. With God on my side devil might as well hide as God pulls us all the way through, chorus
