DAD, MY GUIDE

How can I say what you mean to me,
How can I sing my song.
Of your love and devotion,
Even when I’d done something wrong.

So like our Heavenly Father,
So quick to forget and forgive,
You loved me so, in spite of myself,
You taught me how to live.

Sometimes you would discipline,
But for my only good.
And tell me I could be like Christ,
If I only would.

Ask Him to come into my heart,
And be my dearest friend,
That He would see me through my trials,
And guide me to the end.

You told me how He died for me,
And for my ugly sin,
That He would love me, no matter what,
He saw only the good within.

So my lovely, loving Dad,
I give to you this rhyme,
I’ll love you all the days of my life
And to the end of time.

I pray to God each day and night
And give thanks that He would decree
That a man such as you would be my Dad,
With love beyond degree.
