Lyrics

THE FATHER?S LOVE

V1
A newborn babe in my arms
Cuddled in a blanket looking up at me
Staring in my eyes, like I?m all he?ll ever need
I hold this precious child
Closer to my heart and breath a silent prayer
Then a warming rush of feeling floods my soul

Chorus
And I finally understand
The meaning of the Father?s love
Yes I finally understand
My father God could never stop loving me
For thru His holy eyes, I?m that child He sees
Yes in his loving eyes, He?s just a dad to me

V2
On the first day of school
My little man he sadly turns and waves goodbye
As he boards the bus the teardrops fill my eyes
Then home from School one day
Macaroni shells glued on a paper plate
Tell me ?Dad, I love you more than you could ever know?

Chorus
And I finally understand
The meaning of the Father?s love
Yes I finally understand
My father God could never stop loving me
For thru His holy eyes, I?m that child He sees
Yes in his loving eyes, He?s just a dad to me

V3
Those college days went fast
He took the world by storm, I?m gonna miss my son
I?m just so proud of him and what he has become
Now he?s settling down
A wife and home, its all that he?s been prayin? for.
And a son of his own, looking up at him

Chorus B
And he finally understands
The meaning of the Father?s love
And I finally hear him say
My father God could never stop loving me
For thru His holy eyes, I?m that child He sees
Yes in his loving eyes, He?s just a dad to me

Tag
Yes in his loving eyes, Our Dad he?ll always be
