That’s Our Father’s Way

When a mother really loves her child

There is nothing she won’t give.

She’ll go to any lengths to see

That she flourishes and lives.

And when she asks for things, she tries,

Or stands fast while she cries

When the answer is no.

That’s our Father’s way.

She learned it from Him.

The answer isn’t always yes.

Trust in Him to know when is best

To show us another way another day.

That’s our Father’s way.

In dark and lonely times our lives

Seem out of our control.

We question whether He is there.

In a pretty sight or friendships shared

A little spark of light returns

Reminding us that He does care.

That’s our Father’s way

We learned it from Him

The answer isn’t always yes.

Trust in Him to know what’s best

And show us another day or another way

That’s our Father’s way.
