The Christian Father

When a man becomes a father
No matter what he's done
He becomes a teacher for his daughter and his son.
Some men teach good things
While others teach them wrong
But when a man has Jesus 
He teaches them to be truly strong.
When you grow up with a Christian Father
You start above the rest 
Because your Daddy's learning from the absolute very best.
When you get older and become a mother or a father
You let your light shine 
And bring Jesus to your son and daughter
And give Him to them to find.
So when you become a Parent 
Remember what I say 
They watch what you're doing
So take time to pray.
