Letters I Left Behind

I was an unborn child
When daddy passed away
He knew there were some things
He'd never get to say
So he took his pen
And give his heart to me
And it's almost like
Every letter that he wrote
He knew what I would need

The day I turned thirteen
And the day I learned to drive
He found a way to share
Those special times in life
Though I never heard his voice
I know him well
And I'm finding out
That I am so much wiser for
The truth his letters held

He called me son
Said, "I hope you find
What I've learned about living
Written between the lines
Of letters I've left behind"

He was a faithful man
Who lived the words I read
His words of wisdom came
From the Bible by my bed
And the legacy
That He passed on to me
Has touched my life
And molded me into the man
He prayed for me to be

He called me son
Said, "I hope you find
What I've learned about living
Written between the lines
Of letters I've left behind"
