I love you this much

He can't remember the times that he thought,
'Does my daddy love me? Probably not.'
But that didn't stop him from wishing that he did
Didn't keep him from wanting or worshiping him

He guesses he saw him about once a year
He could still feel the way he felt standing in tears
Stretching his arms out as far as they'd go
Whispering, "Daddy, I want you to know...

I love you this much and I'm waiting on you
To make up your mind, do you love me too?
However long it takes, I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much!"

He grew to hate him for what he had done
Cuz what kind of father could do that to his son?
He said, "[I hate] you daddy," the day that he died
The man didn't blink but the little boy cried,

"I love you this much and I'm waiting on you
To make up your mind, do you love me too?
How ever long it takes, I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much!"

Half way through the service while the choir sang a hymn
He looked up above the preacher and he sat and stared at Him

He said, "Forgive me, Father," when he realized
That he hadn't been unloved or alone all his life.
His arms were stretched out as far as they'd go,
Nailed to the cross for the whole world to know:

I love you this much and I'm waiting on you
To make up your mind, do you love Me too?
However long it takes, I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much!
