PARENT & CHILD
You are a gift from above
In your arms I feel completely loved
From your lips come truths I had forgot
I understand life from the things you have taught
You give me hope, strength to face the next day
You correct my mistakes showing me the right way
Everyday I rejoice to watch your life unfold
You are the one who gave me a life to hold

Dearest Daddy of them all
You have always been there strong and tall
In you Papa I have the utmost faith
That you will remind me to stay on the narrow and straight
Your knowledge of history, parenthood and the English tongue
You have instilled in me when each day is done
You show me a temperance to be not like the others
Also with patience and Godliness from all hurt I can recover
You, Papa have taught me so much of kindness and love
You are a blessing for me from our Father above
So in conclusion all I can say
You are my Papa; I would not have it any other way

Not as I will but as thou wilt
Not as I see but as thou reveal
Not as I hear but as thou speak
Not as I understand only with thy knowledge
Not as I live now only with thy grace
But in resurrection glorifying thy face

How do we each begin our days
In ignorance, in total darkness
Or do we wake to the light of the way
How do we observe Christ’s sacrifice
In perfect faith, in loving hope
He who died to give us life
How do we remember the empty tomb
In celebration, with complete trust
His return we wait for soon
How do we see the resurrection
In future hope, with joy we see
The Kingdom come – it fill our vision

Who has reached out and touched our lives
Made us stop to question, why?
How have we touched the lives of others
Our loving sisters and caring brothers?
Who did show us from the world to be separate
So we were no longer desolate?
Are we living lives that are an example
Showing how the Truth is completely ample
Foreign leaders of old were moved to worship
The God who gat them kingship
They learned the God rules in the kingdom of men
To fulfill His purpose now and then
We must stand up for the truth of the Word
But in a manner that will be heard
Always with positive, humble communication
Showing others the way to salvation
Christ was the best at touching all
Opening ears and hearts to the call
He continues to touch us in this present day
The best example to follow the Way
So we must follow always to do God’s will
Strengthening others to be strong still
