Happy Father's Day

Who was there when I first opened up my eyes?
And who was there to heal the hurt
when I first learned to ride?
And who would never miss a game
celebrate me won or loss?
Yes, my Father was

When adolescent years had come who helped me understand?
And when the winning point was scored
who in victory raised my hand?
And when I hung my head in shame
who was there to lift it up?
Yes, my Father was

My Heavenly Father has always been there
for my earthly one was gone.
He's taken care of me
and I only want to be just like Him.

Now that I'm a full grown man
who can wipe my tears away?
And who's on the other end
when I lift my heart to pray?
And who's always by my side
to help me make it through?
Yes, my Father is.
My Heavenly Father is
Yes, He is.
Yes, my Father is.
