The music video follows the story of a dad as his daughter is packing up to leave for college. And you might be thinking…this doesn’t apply to me.

Some of us, have never had the experience of being a parent or have had rough relationships/no relationship with our earthly fathers. But God is your father. He loves you so much that He sent His only son to die for you. And no matter where you go, or what you do, He will always be a safe place to land. His love for you will never change.

Lyrics:
You were there to pick me up
And tell me I was good enough
It doesn’t matter what I’ve done
You pull me closer

The highs and lows and in-betweens
You’re the one that’s there for me
When I hurt and when I bleed
You make it better
You make it better

You will always be
You will always be
The one that I can call
The safest place to fall
For me
When I can’t stand
When I can’t stand

You always find the best in me
The time is hiding underneath
Every insecurity
That I can’t cover

I can leave them at the door
You never need me to be more
Than who I am if I am yours
And I am yours now
I am yours now

You will always be
You will always be
The one that I can call
The safest place to fall
For me
When I can’t stand
When I can’t stand

When you feel a little lost now
Don’t remember who you are now
You can run into my arms
You can fall, you can fall on me
I ain’t ever gonna leave you
So don’t keep another secret
You can fall, you can fall on me
Oh your tears aren’t a weakness
When you feel a little lost now
Don’t remember who you are now
You can run into my arms
You can fall, you can fall on me
I ain’t ever gonna leave you
So don’t keep another secret
Oh your tears aren’t a weakness
You can fall, you can fall on me

You will always be
You will always be
The one that I can call
The safest place to fall
For me
When I can’t stand

Watching my mom lose her father is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. She always depended on him, and he called us almost every single day. I’ve been blessed enough to have an amazing earthly father who gave up everything for me and my sister. He has always taken great care of us and my mom. He’s never been perfect, and no one ever is. But my dad puts his trust in the One who is perfect. And that’s how our family has stayed so strong for all of these years.

Thank you daddy, I love you.

If you don’t have a great relationship with your father, or have never even had a father, know that God is a father that loves you and will take care of you no matter what.

“And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.” | Isaiah 64:8
