A father’s heart you were given, when we entered into the world one day
A heart to give, a heart to love, and a heart to pray
Years have passed, but the heart has remained beating
Beating for the ones in your care until this day
Your father’s heart has followed us, all the years of our life
Followed us in our ups and downs, even through our strife
This heart has known our joys and pains, even known our fears
This beating heart has gone the distance, running the race with pride and might
Your father’s heart has aged today, but continues to beat as if it were yesterday
Beating in rhythm with our little hearts, in your care to watch over and pray With so much beating and so much toiling, who will watch over the father’s heart?
Who will nurture, and nurse and heal the father’s heart today?
A father’s heart you were given, when we entered into the world one day
A heart to give, a heart to love, and a heart to pray
This heart is not man-made, nor was it purchased or self-taught
But this heart was endowed to you, by the One with the greatest Father’s Heart
This Father’s Heart is like no other
This Father’s Heart loved even before it was loved
This Father’s Heart blessed you many years ago, with your own father’s heart
So would you take your precious gifted heart, and beat in rhythm with the Father’s Heart today
Beat in love, joy, and hope, and also in purity, peace, and prayer
So that your father’s heart will not grow weary, or tired and faint, will all of life’s many cares
But grow in power and strength and might, always and forever watched over by our heavenly Father’s Heart
