What Dad Taught Me

Blow on a dandelion and wish God's parachutes, my dad would say Then fold your hands, whisper a prayer And watch them as they float away You can say anything to God So talk to Him like He's your friend God answers all our prayers, sweet girl Because His love will never end God cares for us, and He is wise He knows what's right and just and true The Lord may say the time is right And in His grace, say yes to you But though you may not understand Sweet child, believe the Lord knows best So do not be surprised sometimes If He says no to your request So dear, give thanks for all His gifts Both granted and to those denied For you never really can go wrong If you trust Him to be your guide
