Lyrics
[Verse]
Well My daddy …was a tough ol’ sucker
He never let me get away
With disrespecting…my mother
Oh there’d be hell to pay
But one day when he’d had enough
He gave me a little tough love
And when he was through with me
He set me up there on his knee
[Chorus]
And He said
Don’t lose heart son, it’s gonna be ok
If you weren’t my child I wouldn’t treat you this way
This life is tough but if you can do what I say
You’re gonna find that it helps you one day
In the moment it might cause a little pain
But with it comes godliness and great gain
Ohhh In the moment you might have a little pain
But with it comes godliness and great gain
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Well it turns out… that My daddy was right
He sure knew just what he was saying
That doesn’t mean that I didn’t try
To live this life in my own way
But one day when I’d had enough
God gave me a little tough love
And when I kneeled down to pray
I heard my Heavenly Father say
[Chorus]
Don’t lose heart son, it’s gonna be ok
If you weren’t my child I wouldn’t treat you this way
This life is tough but if you can do what I say
You’re gonna find that it helps you one day
In the moment it might cause a little pain
But with it comes godliness and great gain
Ohhh In the moment you might have a little pain
But with it comes godliness and great gain
Ohhhhh
Don’t lose heart son, it’s gonna be ok
If you weren’t my child I wouldn’t treat you this way
This life is tough but if you can do what I say
You’re gonna find that it helps you one day
In the moment it might cause a little pain
But with it comes godliness and great gain
Ohhh In the moment you might have a little pain….
But with it comes godliness and great gain
