The best dad song I’ve ever heard! Thank you SCC for continuing to write and sing heartfelt, God honoring music. Your talent continues to bring glory to God as it blesses His people. Ty.
My family and I laid my dad to rest today at Jefferson Barracks, STL Mo. I made him a video of this song but he never got a chance to see it. This song will forever be on repeat! Thank you SCC for the most beautiful song that describes my dad. TLL I love you daddy 💙 rest now
As I listen to this song with tears running down my face, I realize how much these words fit my own father. I only wish he was still around for me to sing them to him. I love you Dad. Until I see you again on the streets of gold. "That's my dad. He fixes cars, sings and picks a guitar, does whatever it takes to get the ends to meet - soft heart and calloused hands. I watched him make mistakes, and I heard him say I'm sorry. And I watched him make a stranger feel like a good friend. And if you ask he'd be the first to say he's far from perfect. But still, if you ask me who my hero's always been, that's my dad." Steven Curtis Chapman
My dad's dad passed when he was 19. he met my mom when he was 21, married her 2 years later, had my older brother who is autistic, and then me 3 years later. My dad has been a mechanic since he was 19, and has worked hard every single day of his life in order for me to be sitting in my college apartment right now. I love him so much that words couldn't describe just how much.
Wow! So good. That's my dad too. So thankful of the examp!e he was of my heavenly father. I know everyone has that in their dad so I'm so grateful. I miss him every day. One day I'll see him worshipping the Jesus he loved to introduce people to as his savior.
Beautiful, makes me think of my Dad who went home to be w/the Lord 7 yrs and 3 months ago...What a blessing to have Dads that love the Lord 1st in their lives...everything else just falls into place
My dad died of cancer in 2008. I remember going to visit my parents on Sundays and sitting there listening to my dad tell the same stories again and again, and think to myself, I've heard these stories a hundred times. Now I'd give anything to be able to sit and hear those stories just one more time. But one day I will.
This beautiful tribute brought me to tears. Thanks for sharing! May the Lord continue to bless many through your ministry and bless you and your family in the process.
I lost my dad a couple years ago. We didn't see eye to eye when I was a kid. The older I got, the more we did. Now that he's gone I realize I didn't get enough of him. I wish I could have one more conversation with him.
That song is absolutely wonderful. My dad was always my hero too. My best friend. Full of love compassion mercy and forgiveness for everyone. Thank you so much for this song and the wonderful memories it brought back to my mind.
I can not stop my dad died last november I love him more now then ever he tried to help me of my learning disability and siezers. HE tried. He did not believe in H GOD that killed me and made me sad but i loved him so much. Thank you so much.
TY SCC hope you read these but even if you don’t, prayers of thanksgiving going up for this beautiful, poignant tribute. I’ll be coming back here every year in June (Father’s Day) and November (the day he passed 11/22/11). Because that’s my dad.
my journey in losing the only man I ever loved 5 years ago has been very hard for me often depression creeps in for I never knew a selfless human being like dad.. dad just know i weep for you everyday i am inconsoulable about your death everyday i asked the almighty for strength to accept that you are no longer here .. but that is a jouney i must venture alone .. just know i loved in life and love you more in death i cant wait to hug you and tell you how much i have missed you
I have no words to describe this beautiful tribute to the father. May GOD continue to bless his family and continue to use his talent for our Lord Jesus Christ. Congratulations!
i was wondering if steven's dad is still alive. or just this song is about father's day to commemorate. i am a korean, so my english might be wrong. please somebody tell me about my question.
Well, I’m now a legit atheist who grew up on Christian music, incl SCC. Came here for nostalgia... And even though I’m the black sheep of the fam (despite being the most highly educated) my dad is still there for me, loves me no matter what. He’s getting on in years and I sobbed at the thought of losing him. This song IS my dad. ❤️
HE knows that you've always had a choice. I'm glad he supports you still. Smells like the love of God. I pray he lives many more years, to love you like no one else will.
My Dad was the best! A big teddy bear i remember laying my head on his chest he was so good a good man of God and i see now how his hugs were God saying i got you💕✝️🙌🏻. i miss him so much i would love to hold his hand one more time( big warm soft) and feel his security i know i will see him one Day i just miss him 😢
Wow! My Dad was not a believer and was not always a good man to some but he spoiled me and became a better man in his later years. I believe that he and God had a thief on the cross moment and that I'll see him again!
Thank you Steven for this amazing tribute. Every single word describes my own father, and I hope that my kids will one day say those same things of me. Sometimes I have to remind myself that no father is perfect, but I'm glad that God gave me one who loved fiercely and set the example for me.
I am planning an playing this on every Father’s Day. The first time I heard this, I cried very hard. Even when things seemed to never get better, I know my father (and Father) will always be there.
Scott from K-Love pointed this song out, found it and gave it a listen. Amen, thank you. ⬆️🙏
Such a beautiful song......wish I could sing the same about my dad. :(
The best dad song I’ve ever heard! Thank you SCC for continuing to write and sing heartfelt, God honoring music. Your talent continues to bring glory to God

I needed to hear this today. I lost my dad this year and thinking of him this Father's Day.
Thanks, Steven
Beautiful. My Dad was a faithful, wonderful father. I am glad he is enjoying Heaven. We will all be there soon.
My dad was my hero too. Still is today but he’s waiting for me in heaven and I can’t wait to shake his calloused hand again.
Thanks for sharing this Steve. This was my dad too.
My brother warned me that I should have tissues ready for this one. He was right! Wow - incredible!
Happy Father's Day to you and your dad!!! Beautiful Tribute!!!!
I hope it will be the same, I really miss him. I wish I could hear that story he told 400 times before.
My family and I laid my dad to rest today at Jefferson Barracks, STL Mo. I made him a video of this song but he never got a chance to see it. This song will forever be on repeat! Thank you SCC for the most beautiful song that describes my dad.
