Lyrics

A Father Who Loves

A father who's strong, lives a life of
faith,
A father's concern can understand a heart that breaks.
He can lean on the Lord's teachings,
And comfort those he's reaching,
A father who loves, a father who cares, knows Jesus.

A father whose arms wrap around his child,
Is a father who's thankful, for this gift of life, that makes him smile.
Like a river over flowing, his love is ever growing,
A father who loves, a father who cares, knows Jesus.

Bridge
Trials come, and there's pain all around,
But a father knows,
How the Lord wants us to live,
As we learn to forgive, to forgive.

A father whose eyes, see the good things,
Is a father who knows God's Word, and the joy it brings.
He can face each tomorrow,
In good times and in sorrow,
A father who loves, a father who cares,
Knows Jesus.

Repeat Bridge

A father takes his child by the hand,
And shows him the way to heaven,
To the Promised Land,
Like a river over-flowing,
His love is ever-growing,
A father who loves, a father who cares,
Knows Jesus
Knows Jesus...
