They tell her God loves her
She says that's great
They tell her He's a father
Then she hesitates
Something happened long ago
And she still feels the fear
If God is like a father
Does she really want Him near?

But He is still a Father
Who loves His little girls
And He would never hurt you
Or destroy your world
In His eyes, you sparkle
Like a priceless, shining pearl
And He is still a Father
Who loves His little girls

Tomorrow, the papers
Will print the news
A father, a daughter
Another child abused
How many hearts are breaking now
And who is keeping score?
For everyone they write about
There are thousands more
But He is still a Father
Who loves His little girls
And He would never hurt you
Or destroy your world
In His eyes, you sparkle
Like a priceless, shining pearl
And He is still a Father
Who loves His little girls

His arms are strong
(His arms are strong)
But they won't hurt you
(But they won't hurt you)
His hand is there
(His hand is there)
To lead the way
(To lead the way)
His lovin' eyes
Can see your heartache
And He'll wipe your tears away
(He will wipe your tears away)
(He will wipe your tears away)

He is still a Father
Who loves His little girls
And He would never hurt you
Or destroy your world
In His eyes, you sparkle
Like a priceless, shining pearl
And He is still a Father
Who loves His little girls
Yes, He is still a Father
Who loves His little girls
