HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, FATHER

OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN

WE HONOR YOU TODAY

WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR BLESSINGS

AND THE LOVE THAT COMES OUR WAY.
 

WE BLESS YOU FOR YOUR GLORY

WE LOVE YOU FOR YOUR LOVE

WE PRAISE YOU FOR YOUR PRESENCE

OF WHICH WE CANNOT GET ENOUGH.

IN THE TRADITIONS OF MEN DOWN HERE ON EARTH

WE SET ASIDE THIS DAY

TO PRAISE THE FATHERS YOU HAVE GIVEN US

AND HONOR THEM IN THIS WAY.

WE LIFT THEM UP, WE BUY THEM TIES

WE TAKE THEM OUT FOR A MEAL

WE SHOWER THEM WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION

AND SHOW THEM HOW WE FEEL.

AND LORD, YOU KNOW THAT SOME OF US

HAVEN'T HAD MUCH IN THE WAY OF A DAD

AND SOME OF US ARE FATHERLESS

AND SOME OF US ARE SAD.

THERE ARE THOSE OF US HERE WHO HAVE HAD LOVING DADDIES

AND THOSE WHO HAVE PAPAS SO DEAR

SOME KNOW THE MEANING OF FATHER

AND SOME WONDER JUST HOW THEY GOT HERE.

BUT WE KNOW WE ALL CAME FROM YOUR HEART

YOU SENT US TO THIS EARTH

AND IN YOUR WISDOM YOU CHOSE THE PARENTS

THAT IT TOOK TO GIVE US BIRTH.

AND THOUGH OUR LIVES ARE VARIED

AND SOME ARE GOOD AND BAD

WE'VE HAD FATHERS AND WE'VE ALL HAD DADDIES

BUT FATHER, YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE DAD!
