Song background:

I was looking for a Father's Day song that was not only easy to learn and sing but was also appropriate for any age to sing. I couldn't find what I wanted, so I wrote this song. This song works for children, youth, and adults. There is an additional verse you can find in the lyrics (not included in the sheet music) that focuses on Heavenly Father's love and mercy that is made possible through Jesus Christ.

Lyrics:
Some fathers take a child’s hand
and teach them to walk,
lifting them up when they stumble.

Some fathers say a little prayer
and teach them to talk
to Heavenly Father above.

Fathers who bless,
fathers who cheer,
fathers who lead with loving care,
fathers who serve and strive,
fathers who guard and guide,
thank you for the love you share.

Some fathers hear a child’s cry
and soothe with a song,
singing their own special verses.

Some fathers join in fun and games
and follow along
with make-believe stories and friends.

Fathers who bless,
fathers who cheer,
fathers who lead with loving care,
fathers who serve and strive,
fathers who guard and guide,
thank you for the love you share.

Optional verse for certain situations:
(not included in the sheet music)

Fathers on earth may lose their way
and desperately call
on Heav'nly Father for mercy.

Through Jesus Christ
who conquered it all,
He offers them hope to become

fathers who bless,
fathers who cheer,
fathers who lead with loving care,
fathers who serve and strive,
fathers who guard and guide.
Heav'nly Father's love is near.
