Faithful Fatherhood

Verse 1:

Little eyes are watching me,
Mirroring what they will be.
Every word and every choice,
Teaching them to heed Your voice.
The mantle heavy, yet I stand,
Guided by Your loving hand.

Adonai, grant me grace,
As I run this sacred race.
Ruach, fill me through and through,
To be a father faithful and true.

I’ve stumbled on this path before,
But Your mercy opens doors.
Yeshua, heal the wounds inside,
In Your shadow, let me hide.
Teach me how to lead with love,
Wisdom sent from up above.

Adonai, grant me grace,
As I run this sacred race.
Ruach, fill me through and through,
To be a father faithful and true.

From Your ways I’ll not depart.
In Your footsteps let me tread,
For my family to be led.

As I run this sacred race.
Ruach, fill me through and through,
To be a father faithful and true.

A faithful father without fear.
