To me this is a song from a loving father to his daughter stating that he'll love her, protect her and be there for her as she grows up. Growing up is not easy to do and a child needs their parents' firm hand to guide them as they develop as well as set standards for them to follow. Salvation in the second line takes on a religious and moral theme, as well as well as deliverance from danger or failure. Faith in the fifth line signifies his trust and belief in her as well as God the creator. The song tells of their relationship in conversation form as the years pass and she develops from infant, to toddler, to young girl, to her teenage years and finally an adult. It's a touching song professing a parent's love for their child.
