| He didn’t have the answers
|
| To half the questions his son ask him
|
| A child’s mind is a curious thing
|
| But when his son hugged him and said
|
| Daddy, you know I love you
|
| How much do you love me?
|
| His daddy didn’t have to think
|
| With his arms open wide just as far as they could go
|
| He said, as far as I can reach is not enough to show
|
| I would give my life for you, you are my flesh and blood
|
| I love you this much
|
| She stood there crying
|
| Broken-hearted looking up at him
|
| And said, son why are you doing this
|
| He looks down at her wanting to hold her
|
| And wipe her tears away
|
| But he has to leave and that’s the way it is
|
| She gave her son one last kiss
|
| And with her arms open wide just as far as they could go
|
| She said, as far as I can reach is not enough to show
|
| I would give my life for you, you are my flesh and blood
|
| I love you this much
|
| And they raised His broken body above the crowd
|
| Drove in the nails as the rain came down
|
| And with His arms open wide just as far as they could go
|
| He said, as far as I can reach is not enough to show
|
| I would give My life for you, you are My flesh and blood
|
| I love you this much, I love you this much |
