MY HEAVENLY FATHER

F is for the faithfulness He shows me
A for His amazing, awesome care

Put them all together, they spell F~A~T~H~E~R
A God of Love! The Only One!


MY CHILDREN'S FATHER

F is for the faith in God he taught well
A for warm affection, always there.
T is for together times of travel
H is for our happy home with prayer
E is for his energy unfailing
R is the respect he showed each one

Put them all together, they spell F~A~T~H~E~R!
A man of love! He’s Number One!
