My Dad Left Me My Heavenly Father Found Me
My Dad Left Me... My Father Found Me!
I remember dad tucking
me into bed each night.
I somehow knew "everything was
going to be allright."
I remember the Bible stories he had read.
Each night before I went to bed.
I remember the smile dad had on his face.
It was like "love all over the place."
Then one night. he left. I didn't know why.
The many nights I'd lay awake and cry.
How could this happen? I was so sad...
I became very upset, angry and mad.
How could God let this
happen to our family?
I thought dad loved us and was happy.
He never returned... Never did explain...
I began to curse even the
mention of his name.
Then one day, I read the Bible
and began to see...
How much Jesus really
does love me!
I asked him to be the father
of my life today.
I'll never forget the words he had to say;
"I'll be with you each step that is taken."
I love you so much...
You're never forsaken!"
Jesus... my heavenly father, has given
me love so precious.
I have a relationship with him...
that's so nutritious!
My dad left me. My (heavenly)
father found me.
And now each day...
His love surrounds me!
