about
I wrote this song for my son's 1st birthday, which happened to land on Father's Day that year. In 2012, I played this song in church with fellow dads.
lyrics
After The Father's Heart
I
want to do the best I can
Raise my child with a gentle hand
Oh Lord,
Teach me mercy from the start
Help me love the way you want me to
In the image of You
Make me
after the Father's heart
Make me
after the Father's heart
and see me through
Make me more like You
I
want to be a ray of light
Guide my child through the stormy night
Oh Lord,
Teach me wisdom from the start
Help me lead the way You want me to
In the image of You
Make me
after the Father's Heart
Make me
after the Father's heart
and see me through
Make me more like You
After the Father's heart
After the Father's heart
After the Father's heart
and see me through
Make me more like You
