Fathers
A child without a father is in greatest jeopardy
As one who has no father has no image they can see
To represent the Father that is living up above
Who daily leads and guides us with His never ending love
That love that holds the standard of what He would have us be
The standard of the Kingdom that will be eternally
The home of those who follow Christ the Lamb and Son of God
Who daily seek His purpose in the path in which they trod
But children without fathers see but half of what God is
While living with just mother there's a part of God they miss
The part that's strong and noble humbled by his part in life
Who shows God's love to children in the way he loves his wife
Who is for him his anchor in this world of vice and sin
Who helps him be example to the other worldly men
With whom he works by conduct they can see and hear from him
That speaks of his commitment and his love that humbles them
To see a man who's faithful in his words and acts of life
A man who lives to honor that one woman as his wife
Whom God in wisdom gave him making whole what they must be
One body with one purpose as they raise their family
To be a light to heaven as they want the world to know
God has there in His Kingdom homes for each of us to go
And live as one great family wherein love does abide
A love that by the tempest of this world was sorely tried
But thanks to godly fathers who lived God before the eyes
Of those who were entrusted by the Father true and wise
There will be many children there who might have lost their way
For want of seeing Jesus in the things they heard them say
So if you are a father or will be in God's great plan
Don't give yourself to folly listening to the ways of man
But focus on the true One Who gave all that He could give
And be for Him example in the way you choose to live
Before your wife and children and all others who might see
The way you live to honor God and your own family
And know with fullest confidence the heaven you will know
Will be by grace proportioned to what you chose here to show
Deuteronomy 10:13-21; Ephesians 5:21-33
