Father Me
Rick and Cathy Riso Lyrics

O father of the fatherless
Oh, God who cares for those without a father

In whom all families are blessed
You are the one who blesses all families

I love the way you father me
I cherish the care and love you show me, like a father to his child

You gave me life, forgave the past
You granted me life and forgave my sins and transgressions of the past

Now in your arms I'm safe at last
Finally now I am safe from all the pain and dangers, shielded by your love and care

I love the way you father me
I am grateful for the way you care for me

When bruised and broken I draw near
When I am hurt and shattered and come closer to you

You hold me close and dry my tears
You comfort me and wipe away my tears

I love the way you father me
I admire your loving care for me

At last my fearful heart is still
I am finally relieved from my anxious heart

Surrendered to your perfect will
I submit to your perfect plan for my life

I love the way you father me
I am thankful for your fatherly care

If in my foolishness I stray
If in my ignorance I go astray

Returning empty and ashamed
Coming back without any gain and filled with shame

I love the way you father me
I appreciate how you still love me even when I make mistakes

Exchanging for my wretchedness
Replacing my unworthiness with your perfection

Your radiant robes of righteousness
With your shining robes of righteousness

I love the way you father me
I value your fatherly love and grace

And when I look into your eyes
When I gaze into your loving eyes

From deep within my spirit cries
My soul resonates with overwhelming joy

I love the way you father me
I am delighted with how you care for me

Before such love I stand amazed
I am awestruck by the amount of love that you have shown me

And ever will through endless days
I will always love and cherish your fatherly love for me, through eternity

I love the way You father me
I am grateful for your continuous care for me

Father me, forever you'll father me
Be my father always, forever and forever

And in your embrace I'll be forever secure
In your loving arms, I feel safe and secure, always

I love the way you father me
I am blessed by your loving care always

I love the way you father me
I am grateful for the way you care for me
