Relationship with a father

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Years ago we said goodbye to our hometown and our fathers.
We travelled afar to pursue a higher education.
We thought we would be like wand?rers in a far country,
O we thought we would be like orphans in a foreign land.

Chorus:
But our God had blessed us with someone who taught us in a fatherly way,
Someone who disciplined and loved us when our fathers were not by our side;
Yes, God has blessed us with a father in a foreign land.

Verse 2:
All these years you've put yourself in the shoes of our fathers.
You've taken the time to give us a fatherly education.
You see to it that we're not wandering in this far country,
and you see to it that we are not lost in this foreign land.

Chorus:
Yes, God has blessed us all these years you've taught us in a fatherly way,
And you have disciplined and loved us when our fathers were not by our side;
Yes, God has blessed us with a father in a foreign land.

Bridge:
Then one day we may continue this legacy of fatherhood
to the wanderers and the orphans around us,
and we know our God will surely bless them, bless them.

Chorus:
Because He has blessed us with someone who taught us in a fatherly way,
Someone who disciplined and loved us when our fathers were not by our side.
Yes, God has blessed us through you as our father in a foreign land, as our father in a foreign land.
