Father of the Bride
Story behind the song
Written for Amber's wedding...how a father feels
Lyrics
I've watched this flower grow right before my eyes
At first I didn't know. I didn't realize
The miracle she'd be when I first loved her so
But God has favored me to watch this flower grow
(verse)
I've watched the seasons flow each one so dear to me
I cherish them like gold within my memory
From pigtails to perfume...I've seen them come and go
And God has favored me to watch this flower grow
(chorus)
If I've played any part in the blossom in her heart
Lord I give all the glory to You
For in her eyes I've seen Your face
As she's grown in Your grace
Grounded in Your truth
(verse)
I've watched this flower bloom...from little girl till now
She stands as bride with groom and I must give her up somehow
Yet I'll hold her in my heart though it's time for her to go
I'm thankful Lord you let me watch this flower grow
I'm thankful Lord you let me watch this flower grow
So thankful Lord you let me...watch this flower grow
