lyrics

V1
Darling daughter
Now that you are born
I can’t remember what life was like before

Oh I have been renewed
I have been renewed
I have been renewed
Now that I have you

V2
Darling daughter
Now that you are born
Nothing matters the same way anymore

Oh I have been confused
If I’m telling the truth
But now that I have you
I am renewed

Bridge
They’re pouring holy water over my precious daughter
I’m thinking “oh God - what do I have to offer?
Am I enough for her?
Am I enough for her?”

V3
Darling daughter
Now that you are born
Im a father like my father before

Im walking in his shoes
And I’m sure he’ll be amused
Cuz Now that I have you
I’ll know what he went through

V4
Darling daughter
Now that you are born
I couldn’t be prouder, I couldn’t be more unsure

Of what I’m supposed to do
Just between me and you
But I have been renewed
Now that I’ve met you

V5
Darling daughter
Since we brought you home
Me and your mother just can’t leave you alone

We’re so in love with you
Our lives have been renewed
To give our lives to you is the least that we can do

Chorus
They’re pouring Holy water
Holding my precious daughter
I don’t need God, I got her
Oh God I got her
Thank God I got her

V6
Darling daughter
I really could have sworn
On the Bible
That this Baptism was yours

Who knew I’d be renewed
By someone so darn cute
Oh and I’m so happy I’m your daddy too
