My Dad
There are no words that I could say
To describe the man I call dad.
Many times I’ve tried to write it down
To tell of the best friend I’ve had.
He’s strong in every walk of life
But yet taught us kindness too
His love for God runs so deep
For us, he prayed would too
His wisdom I always come running to
In times I feel I have none…
For I know his answers will direct my path
And the problem will be done!
No better Dad on this earth is found
Than the man God gave to me
For my precious Father in Heaven knew
He would be just what we need….
We have seen him as stable as a rock
When facing troubled times
We have seen him as humble as could be
When his gifts out shine
He is there for all he sees in need
And quick to make things right
But will walk away without a word
So no “Thank yous” are in sight
He taught me that our Savior sees
And knows our thoughts and deeds
With God we’re blessed, no need for worry
He’ll supply our every need.
Oh Lord in Heaven touch my Life
Make me be more like Dad
For his life is a wonderful example of
with God, what we can have
Love and care for my precious dad
Bless his every need
Keep him close, always by my side
For his precious love I plead!
His Life’s the picture of Your love, Lord
He has given all to You
How blessed I’ve been to call him dad
For men like him are few!
