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 rode very far
I really dont remember if his songs were quite on key
But that didnt matter to me
It was my father's song
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 its a song of giving much more than youre 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
