I Have A Father
I Have A Father
Lord, it was one humdinger of a
fight.
I wondered if it would ever end.
But three solid blows later.
Little Loser limped toward his home.
With his fists clenched,, he shouted:
"I'll tell my father on you!"
(I had a feeling he meant it.)
Then all of a sudden it happened--
Out the front door he walked.
Calm and serene.
His tall hefty father by his side.
Like a streak of jagged lightning.
His frightened opponent was on the
run.
O Lord, what a reflection of me.
I too must do battle
With the adversary of my soul.
At times he comes masked,
As an angel of light.
He thwarts and antagonizes.
He blinds and binds.
He harasses and accuses.
I'm no match for him, Lord.
The battle wages against
Principalities and powers.
But the great triumphant truth is
I have a Father.
My Father protects and upholds me.
He strengthens and supports me.
Nothing can happen to me
Outside my Father's will.
My Father is greater by far.
Than he who is in the world.
Once and for all it was settled.
On a rugged cross.
On a lonely hill.
I have a Father
