Happy Birthday to my favorite 'Gentle' man




My Daddy The Carpenter

(words & music, Liesa G. George, copyright 1996)


There are many songs that speak of a mother's love,

And those songs are very dear to my soul.

But I have a story to tell you,

About my daddy the country carpenter.

Nothing new to me you see,

I've known it all along,

That my daddy the carpenter

Knows the Carpenter from Galilee.



My daddy the carpenter

Knows the Carpenter from Galilee.

He didn't have to tell it,

It was plain to see.

His humble prayers and his kind heart

Made it obvious to me

That my daddy the carpenter

Knows the Carpenter from Galilee.



He could make somethin' special

Out of a plain 'ole piece of wood.

He'd put the finished touches

Only like my daddy could.

That's sort of what happened

When my daddy was just a lad.

God took that little carpenter,

Made this girl a real fine dad.



Happy Birthday Daddy,
from Daddy's girl!

Tell him Happy Birthday for me!! You are so blessed to still have him with you! I lost both parents 4 1/2 years ago. Very life changing, you know?

Have a blast celebrating!
