God Is My Light and My Salvation

          Tomorrow is Father’s Day again. It has been more than 30 years since I saw my earthly father, before he died of cancer, and I miss wishing him a happy Father’s Day. When I think of what a good father does, I’m so glad that I still have God as my Heavenly Father. A good father protects, loves, guides, and enjoys his children. God is my good Father, he protects me. He loves me forever. He guides me with his wisdom. When I am afraid, I can trust in Him.

                              Here is my Father’s Day Praise Song:

Father’s Day Praise

Father, Heavenly Father. I lift my heart to you in praise this Father’s Day.

Father, I call you my Father for you’ve adopted me into your holy family.

Now I will soar on the wings of the breeze you’ve created for me

because you love me and hold me close to you.

For you’ve redeemed me, justified, sanctified, and purified me

and how I love you, rejoicing in peace you’ve given to me.

                                                         

Father, Heavenly Father, thank you for answering my prayer the way that you know is best.

Father, I trust you, my Father. You’re kind and merciful, tender, forgiving, and patient with me.

Now I will soar on the wings of the breeze you’ve created for me

because you love me and hold me close to you.

For you’ve redeemed me, justified, sanctified, and purified me

and how I love you, rejoicing in peace you’ve given to me.

Yes, how I love you, rejoicing in peace you’ve given to me.
