My Father's Song



Words and music by Ray Boltz



When I was just a little child

We'd climb in this old family car

And daddy would start to sing

Before we rode very far

I really don't remember

If his songs were quite on key

But that didn't matter to me

It was my Father's song



CHORUS:

And he sings a song of love

And a song of caring

You sing it with your heart

You sing it with your life

And it's a song of giving

Much more than you're asked

And knowing that

What you've done for Christ

Is all that's going to last



As I grew up I heard that song

Time and time again

A gentle word or a tender touch

And that song would begin

I can hear it in his laughter

And it moves me more and more

I can see it in his eyes

When he talks about the Lord

It's my Father's song



And if I were the greatest musician

Who ever walked upon a stage

If I could sing any song I liked

Any instrument I could play

I wouldn't need a piano

I wouldn't need a violin

I'd choose a heart filled with his love

And then I'd begin

To sing my Father's song

His song



CHORUS
