A Father's Love

Each day there are lessons in life,
Open our hearts and we will see;
The love that God has for us all,
Love that was always meant to be.

At times the trail may seem too rough,
Yet, the trail's end is within sight;
Simply take one step at a time,
To reach His Everlasting Light.

No matter what we say or do,
God's love can't be taken away;
The gift that He has given us,
Is ours, meant to forever stay.

As long as we will remember,
To trust in God and keep the faith;
Open wide the door to our hearts,
Ask Him in; it's never too late.

Don't question the blessings God gives,
Take them with us along our trail;
Each one of them God has given,
To prove His love can never fail.

His wonders are all around us,
From saplings that struggle to grow;
To eagles soaring in the sky,
Sparrows seeking the sun's warm glow.

Just as the rain makes the grass green,
The love that God gives can restore;
Any soul that may need healing,
He'll make us as we were before.

The black, storm clouds will melt away,
The stars will again start to shine;
The moon's light shining through the clouds,
Tells us of the glory we'll find.

No, God doesn't have to like us,
He can hate what we say and do;
While caring for what's in our hearts,
Yes, our Father's love remains true .

Thank You, Father, for this lesson,
Thank You for the love of Your Son;
A love that is very special,
Another battle for me You've won.
