Blessed With Great Father
Over the hill and far away
Stands my father’s haven of rest
Where he awaits my homecoming day
With good news of life’s fullness-best.
Yet beyond such and yonder far
Is my eternal residence
Which no one and nothing can mar…
…Against my Father’s providence.
How blessed am I to have a Dad
Who regards my being’s welfare
His sheltering ways makes me glad…
...Amidst my suffering, He does care.
I thank my Father God* above
Who attends to my heart and soul
He secures me with His great love
Where I plunge for contentment-whole.
My holy Father hears my praise
…My Dad commends my victory
Every day, I enjoy His grace
…As I reflect Gospel story.
*1Thessalonians 3:11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
