Help Me To Be

Looking down on the new born child Our Father gave to us I quickly looked to the years we have ahead And asked Him, help me to be The kind of father I should be Lead me through the restless night When our child lies awake And the times she’ll need a change Be with me through her younger years And help me to calm her fears Give me the words to say When she comes for advice That I might lead her The straight and narrow way When I’m about to show my anger Over something she’s said or done Please remind me Of all I’ve said and done against Your will And the love You show me still But most of all enable me To be a bright and shining light So when it comes time to choose Between what’s wrong or right Our child will know And want to share In Your never ending love God, help me to be The kind of father I should be NOTE*** This is from my CD A Father’s Love Letters To listen to the CD please visit http://www.reverbnation.com/#/mikehamill
