Lyrics

Daddy was a God-Fearing Man
Songwriter Gary Davis 9/26

Daddy was a hardworking man
He lived His whole Life for the Lord
Before the day even began
He was reading God's Holy Word

He was part of a coal mining crew
Where he never saw the light of day
At night when his work was through
Daddy would grab his fiddle and play

Daddy was a God-fearing Man
He loved to read God's Holy Word
Kind-hearted with a gentle hand
He lived to do the work of the Lord
Daddy was a God-fearing Man

Daddy loved to sing the Old Hymns
Like "In the Garden alone"
Or "I'll talk it all over with Him"
Daddy sang them from his soul

Daddy's now passed and gone
I know He's there with the Angel Band
He's Singing now around God's Throne
For my Daddy was a God-Fearing Man
