He holds my hand When I don’t have a friend He guides my plans When I don’t understand He warms my thoughts When I feel the chill of darkness He shines His light Through the shadows that destroy He gentles my passions Whispers truth into my falsehoods He breaks through my pain Calming all my fear and anxiety He colors my thoughts In hues of prayer and praise He measures my hope With His depth of sweet grace He inspires my dreams When I wish so eagerly for a desire He welcomes my thanksgiving When I know that He needs my heart He stirs my feelings of faith Even though I have so many doubts He listens to my petitions Despite the fact I’m so weak and frail He promises to love me Even though I can be so unlovable He reaches out to my spirit When I neglect the worship He needs from me He arouses my creativeness With joy, enthusiasm and elation He erases my worries and dread Painting my faith with strength that abounds He is the answer to my problems Calming, soothing, enlightening He is the truth that binds my heart With kindness, mercy and blessings He is the feeling that glows inside me Reminding me that my attempts are worthwhile He is the reminder that my life Is in His hands, where I’m sure of His care for me He is the love that draws me toward Him Filling my heart with tenderness that melts grief He is the affection that frees me from despair Awakening my spirit to the song of grace He is the devotion that breathes joy through me Kindling fires of compassion and wonder He is the empathy that quiets my worst fears Without His love, I wouldn’t be the woman I am! Without Him… I wouldn’t know the light of hope Without Him… I wouldn’t know the joy of peace Without Him… I wouldn’t know the way to belief Without Him… I wouldn’t sing a song of grace Without Him… I wouldn’t dance with inspiration Without Him… I wouldn’t laugh with pure elation Without Him… I wouldn’t be free of sin and wrong Without Him… I wouldn’t know God is my Father! Happy Father’s Day to the One who created me
