FATHER AND A FRIEND
Author(s): Micah
Songbook: Love Songs Songbook
KeyWords: Death and Heaven,Faith and Trust,

Lord, I need You more,
As each little one grows bigger
To be just teaching them how fair
You've always been with me;
To be loving. Love is what You'll always be.

Chorus:
'Cause they'll only know You by my ways with them.
They'll only learn to love and trust
By a sample of a father and a friend.

And Lord, I need You more
As each young one grows older,
To be firm as the rock Your hand has been beneath my feet.
To be tender, softening the hardness they will meet.

[Repeat chorus]

Please make me more in Your image.
Help my weakness to be Your strength.
Don't ever let me fail them again.

Now I see Your plan for them,
And what You've done for me;
And I see the load's too big for me alone.

[Repeat chorus twice]
