YOUR FATHERHOOD

Lord, take me in your Fatherhood
That I may father be,
A husband to my own wife good,
Raise children all for Thee.

Please, let my work outside the home
Serve those who dwell within.
At work I’m same to all who come,
At home I’m many men:

A lover to my lovely wife,
A hero to my child,
A wise man holding key to life,
A daddy, gentle, mild,

A champion in little things,
Courageous facing fear;
A man whose voice with truth will ring,
Forgiving all those near,

A tiger with a tender heart,
A lion never tame,
A man who must play many parts,
But father all the same.

A husband, father is the one
You’ve formed me so to be
Through grace that’s given through your Son,
That I may live for Thee.
