Father's Prayer

Father’s Prayer

To be a good father to those who look to me I have so often craved and yearned.
And only from You, Oh Father of fathers, can this great lesson be received and
successfully learned.

I want to lead my flock in the path that is good, noble, and true.
This, my Lord, I know that You alone can so wisely teach me how to do.

It is my desire to reflect Your will in all that I think and that I say.
How can I accomplish this, Oh my God, for my feet are surely made of sand and clay.

But in trying to guide a child of my own, I would certainly be at a total loss,
Without the guidance of your Son’s steps from the manger to His sacrificial cross.
