Your Father

Who is your father; he may be amazing
Strong like double glazing; always grazing
In the Word; brilliant at raising
You; worth praising, forever appraising and meeting
Your needs; he’s spot on; his efforts are blazing

Then that’s good

or maybe not

He could be terrible; or barely bearable
He could be absent; leaving you arable
This no parable, some fathers bring trouble
Not adorable or flexible, just miserable
Or worse, deplorable; incurable sinners
Leaving your life unbearable; even horrible

That’s not your fault

Please listen

Because, there is more; a Father who is rather
Better than that; after nothing more than a calmer
Life for you. In fact, a perfect life; a new charter
Not bringing you unjust anger; no spiritual cancer
In Him; Nothing wrong, nothing awkward, no bother
Life changing times – yes; but always surrounding
You with armour; securing you with his eternal anchor
Giving you just what you need; always bringing the answer
Washing you clean from whatever you have suffered, no matter
What that maybe; His manner is flawless; He is the Master
Of this world; So just trust Him – The Everlasting Creator
Perfect in every way, Mighty God and Most Loving Father

Listen

If your life has been bad then that breaks His heart
He wants to know you and show what life is really all about
He is Love, maybe the love you never had; you may feel awful
You can trust Him, there is nothing bad in Him – NOTHING
