Daddy Said

Jan 3, 2007
By: Rick L. King

Often I have times
That I must make a choice
But because of what Daddy Said
I choose to hear His voice

I get tempted like all
But I’m told to the temptation flee
But because of what Daddy Said
I’m learning that what He says, is best for me

I’m told to forgive
When a wrong to me is rendered
If I hold anything against another
Daddy Said, my prayers would be hindered

I’m told to pray for the one
That me they dispitefully used
Because Daddy Said
This I try to do

I’m told to love my brother
And give to Him grace, not put him in jail
Daddy Said that love does no ill
And that love will never fail

I’m told to walk in the spirit
Single-minded in thought
Daddy Said, listen to my voice
And the problems will come to naught

I’m told to not give place to the devil
But from him flee
Daddy Said, that His spirit is life
The devils’ is out to kill, steal, and destroy, me

You may wonder why some things I will not do
Though opportunities come every day
It is because I have learned that what Daddy Said
Is the truth, the light, and the way

Daddy Said that I am to give
And it would be given back to me
And if I walk in His power
He would do exceedingly abundantly

I have learned over the years
That what Daddy Said is always the best
So I am out to please Him alone
And let Him take care of all the rest

Unlike my earthly daddy
My Heavenly one knows all things
He wants only good for me
And has the power for the blessing to bring

I choose to listen to the Holy Spirit
And know revelation of what He would say
Because my Daddy Said
I choose a spiritual pathway

I do not even know how to pray
Except the Holy Spirit take control
Daddy said, that it is not about me
Nor the natural things which I know

I’ve learned that if I will listen to what Daddy Said
Through His Holy Spirit voice
That I will be taught right things
And able to make the right choice

You see, Daddy empowers me
To overcome all my sin
And there is no greater joy
Than to have fellowship with Him

Because Daddy Said
Is the best reason that I know
He is a loving father
And with Him I choose to go.
