Father

I find his faith fleeting
And mine in him goes with it.
The truth of all he is,
Slowly revealed in all he does.

It leaves me searching,
For someone stronger,
A faith more solid,
An understanding more profound.

Now I know
God is our Father
And His love
He gives abounds.

But understanding and approval
From a father here below
Is a source of strength and joy
That would encourage one to grow.

My search is finally over.
I think I've finally found
That father I've been looking for
Whose faith and love astounds.

He teaches and he guides,
Encourages faithful growth,
He shows God's love in all he does
A perfect substitute.

God supplies
All we need
I know that this is true
Because He has provided me with you.

flying a kiteMark 9:36-37
And He took a child, and set Him in the midst of them: and when He had taken him into His arms, He said unto them,
Whosoever shall receive one of such children in My name, receiveth Me: and whosoever shall receive Me, receiveth not Me, but Him that sent Me.
