A Father’s Love in All Forms

This country song, Love Without End Amen performed by George Strait, tells the story of a father’s love throughout life. The words and music are by Aaron G. Barker.

It’s a great song and a powerful performance! The stanzas feature a son’s father, a father’s son, and God the father. And a love without end, Amen.

I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye.
Fightin’ was against the rules, and it didn’t matter why.
When dad got home, I told that story just like I’d rehearsed.
And then stood there on those tremblin’ knees and waited for the worst.

And he said, “Let me tell you a secret about a father’s love,
A secret that my daddy said was just between us.”
He said, “Daddies don’t just love their children every now and then.
It’s a love without end, amen. It’s a love without end, amen.”

When I became a father in the spring of ’81,
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father’s son.
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end,
I took my daddy’s secret and I passed it on to him.

And I said, “Let me tell you a secret about a father’s love,
A secret that my daddy said was just between us.”
I said, “Daddies don’t just love their children every now and then.
It’s a love without end, amen. It’s a love without end, amen.”

Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates.
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake.
If they know half the things I’ve done, they’ll never let me in.
And then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again.

And he said, “Let me tell you a secret about a father’s love,
A secret that my daddy said was just between us.
You see, daddies don’t just love their children every now and then.
It’s a love without end, amen. It’s a love without end, amen.”
