A Song My Dad Wrote

I found an old song my dad wrote.  My dad was a  conflicted man but he did love Jesus and when he died he knew where he was going.  He wrote this song after he broke his back and while he was in hospital.  Afterwards he went through some rough times spiritually, but God is faithful and lead him back.  He later sang this song at our wedding.  It was when he sang this that I became a blubbering mess for the rest of the night… 🙂 Sometimes I like to reminisce.

Heavenly Father

Hold on to my hand

Help me accept

what I don’t understand

Guide me each day Lord

Through these unwanted trials

Heavenly Father I am your child.

 

I find myself awake nights

Just walking the floor

The pressures of each day

Seem more and more

Thank you for each day Lord

That you’ve helped me through

Heavenly Father, how I love you.

 

Heavenly father

Hold on to my hand

Help me accept

What i don’t understand

Guide me each day Lord

Through these unwanted trials

Heavenly father I am your child

 

Strengthen my faith Lord

show me your ways

guide me oh lord

Through each working day

My position in life

is less than I desire

So help me my Father, I am your child.

 

Heavenly Father

Hold on to my hand

Help me accept

what I don’t understand

Guide me each day Lord

Through these unwanted trials

Heavenly Father I am your child.
