Tribute To Fathers
GOD be thanked for fathers* who fulfill their roles wholeheartedly
despite crises and hardships that challenge them rigorously
prioritizing His kingdom and His righteousness diligently
saying “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” gladly.
Faithfully leading the home with prayer fervently
Abounding in the Lord’s love in building home authoritatively
Teaching children to trust Christ and acknowledge Him sincerely
Head of the family, exemplifying humility truthfully
Earnestly providing for the household effectively
Ruling with Bible principles steadfastly
Securing welfare and future of next generation diligently.
Indeed, the Almighty be honoured for fathers constantly testifying
about goodness of the Saviour while in His will always staying…
With the mercy of God they are receiving while sharing
they show their concern by their compassionate caring.
Learning and teaching God's Word for children’s training
they disciple toward holiness against sinning.
In guiding others to fear the Creator Who is all-knowing
they share the Gospel, winning souls; in the ministry, continuing.
Appreciating the Saviour for His bountiful blessing
they direct homes toward worshipful and praising.
Dear Fathers, we salute you this Fathers’ Day, celebrated triumphantly
as we commend you and your involvement in our church willingly
being courageous frontliners and stewards of your family…
May you keep up the good work by the grace of God dutifully
resolved to declare, “Follow me as I follow Christ obediently.”
*Ephesians 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
