On Father's Day, dear Father
I'm thinking of YOU . . .
ALL THAT YOU ARE, LORD
And ALL that YOU do ~

Thinking of how YOU'RE
All ~ loving ~ all ~ wise . . .
Answering each time one of
Your children cries ~

I'm Lifting up praises because
They're so deserved . . .
That our days are blessed
Our lives well~preserved ~

In my heart's memory
Are those cherished times there . . .
When I was in need
And YOU answered my prayer ~

Recalling occasions when YOUR
Answer was NO to me . . .
For YOU know the future
That I cannot see ~

Times without number, Lord
YOU'VE changed my direction . . .
With patience ~ long~suffering
And much gentle persuasion ~

YOU'VE guided my footsteps
Father Dear, helped me grow . .
In Grace and Knowledge
Oh ~ YOU help me so ~

Accept, LORD, this TRIBUTE
For sweet mercies YOU'VE shown . . .
In gratitude 'tis given to
" THE GREATEST FATHER EVER KNOWN "
