Dale King, my college roommate, wrote the first verse and chorus. I added the second verse and produced the track for Dale's music.

Story behind the song
Dale wrote the first verse and chorus or his father and I loved it, and had the idea to make the second verse spiritual.
Lyrics
DADDYS ARMS
By Dale King and Jeff Leslie
Like a gentle breeze blowin
I could hear his voice callin
Hey kids, Im home.
As a child I was longing
For my daddys homecoming
Id start to run
I was looking for those arms that hold me tight
For Hes the one who made everything right
My Daddys arms are strong and warm
They keep me safe from harm
The smile I see from Daddys knee
Fills all my heart with peace
Perfect peace
When Im on my knees praying
I will find myself saying
Hey, Dad, Im home.
Like a sinner whos fallen
There's a Savior Im calling
And He will come
When I fall before the Throne of Grace
Jesus takes me to that heavenly place
My Daddys arms are strong and warm
They keep me safe from harm
The smile I see from Daddys knee
Fills all my heart with peace
Perfect Peace
