Father

Father I thank you when all seems lost,
that you have forgiven me for my past.
The way may seem dark, the valley deep,
but I know my salvation is mine to keep.

Father the joy that you came to bring,
is the living water that makes me sing.
A joy that you loved me at my worst,
and kept me with your enduring word.

Father you are a father indeed,
tending your childrens every need.
Even when we just cannot see,
why you prune till we are on our knee.

Father I just want to give you praise,
for making sense of this senseless maze.
For when the waters rise and I'm overwhelmed,
to know you're the master at the helm.
