Silent Lessons Our Fathers Have Taught Us

There's so much to say about the role fathers play
so many lessons they teach till we're grown.
But oh, the many lessons they teach without words
with the actions & love they have shown.
For the times they go to work when they'd rather stay home
and spend extra time with their kids.
But we learn someone loves us enough to provide
and we are taught by the work that they did.
How precious are the times when our fathers speak the Word
and we learn what God's truth is all about.
But how vivid are the times we see them living that truth
and the lesson is seen without doubt.
How valuable is the balance of discipline they teach us
when we are pained by our childhood mistakes.
Yet those times we're forgiven, and no punishment comes
shows us a clear picture of grace.
Oh, the precious love our fathers give to us
sometimes in words eloquently spoken.
But that love is also felt when they enter a room
and just stand there with the silence unbroken.
Our fathers shoulder so much to bring us to adulthood
...so many sacrifices we often don't see.
But all their silent lessons help make us what we are
for our futures and all it may be.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honor your father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise: that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth. And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
( Ephesians 6:1-4 )
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
( John 14:1-3 )(KJV) |
