Famous Fathers
FAMOUS FATHERS
George Washington was the father of our country
James Brown the father of soul
Duke Ellington the father of jazz
Elvis of rock and roll
Each one of these men was famous
As history books will attest
But our Father who art in Heaven
Is the one we should know best
These other fathers, though famous
Have nothing but their reputation
But God, our Heavenly Father
Gave us the plan for our salvation
This was all made possible
By the death of His Son on the cross
He died for the sins of the world
So that none should have to be lost
But consider your earthly father
Remember all that he gave
Recall that he taught you of Jesus
Praying that you would be saved
So now through your Heavenly Father
Follow your earthly father's desire
Let the wonderful plan of salvation
Save you from the heat of hell's fire
Come and kneel at the altar
Let Jesus show you the way
This will honor your father
And you'll have a great Father's Day
