For My Children
03:02

Love is pancakes in the morning
Love's a hug and kiss good night
Love is storm clouds under covers
Wearing rain boots any time
Love is popcorn and a movie
Love's a bike ride in the park
Love is cheering til l'm breathless
Watching dance and martial arts
For my children
For my children
For my children are my life
Love is always needing new shoes
Love is growing much too fast
Love is answering the school bell
While the busy hours pass
Love is hanging this week's art work
Hands traced with water color life
Love's a broken a-hand-me-down world
New through their innocent eyes
For my children
For my children
For my children are my life
Love is living in the moment
Love's a moment passing by
Love is pancakes in the morning
Love's a hug and kiss good night
For my children
For my children
For my children are my life

Daddies and Daughters
03:24

Sing, sing with me now of a love deeper than words
Sing, sing with me now of a father and his girl
You are amazing and capture my heart
Just because of who you are
You are my strength and believe in me
You make me feel like a star
Hold, hold my now, your hugs open up my soul
Hold, hold me now, tell me we'll never grow old
I treasure you more than life itself
You are my joy and wealth
You show your love and I know you care
It feels like I am dancing on air
And for a life time you will be
The one I love so tenderly
Whatever changes whatever comes
Daddies' and daughters' hearts will always beat as one
Dream, dream with me now with each day a blessing comes true
Dream, dream with me now everyday I love being with you
You say some day you want a man like me to love like I love your mother
Some day I will find my Prince Charming but you're my king there is no other
And for a life time you will be the one I love so tenderly
Whatever changes whatever comes
Daddies and daughters' hearts will always beat as one

Fathers and Sons
02:45

Life is but a breath
Sill each day I'm blessed
I can call you son
Watch what you become
You outgrew my lap
And there's no going back
But you'll never outgrow my heart
Fathers and sons keep a lot inside
Though my words are few
I believe in you
You're a treasure here In our family
A sacred gift; a legacy
Seek the One I serve
Search the Holy Word
Be the man of God you can be
Fathers and sons keep a lot inside
Though my words are few
I believe in you
Fathers and sons can say I love you, too
Listen to me; hear me say, son
I love you
There's a girl for you
I've been praying for
And you'll know it's true
When God blesses you
When the time is right
Take her as your wife
I pray for you every night
Fathers and sons keep a lot inside
Though my words are few
I believe in you
Fathers and sons can say I love you, too
Listen to me; hear me say, son
I love you

Faith Like a Child
03:30
|
|||
It was time for bed; time to read and to pray
Forget it, Daddy said, it won't help anyway
Sis was all of six and here brother only four
But she could read Bible stories like Momma did before
Faith like a child; Oh handle with care
One day you’ll look and it won’t be there
Can the Good Lord’s Book make sense of life’s trials?
Oh to have faith; faith like a child
Oh to have faith; faith like a child
Momma hid her treasures deep in their hearts
Daddy was so broken, the house of cards fell apart
Sis read Momma’s Bible and as they started to pray
Daddy walked in the room ‘cause he just had to say
Faith like a child; Oh handle with care
One day you’ll look and it won’t be there
Can the Good Lord’s Book make sense of life’s trials
Oh to have faith; faith like a child
Oh to have faith; faith like a child
So Daddy wrote this song as a tiny reminder
To love the Word of God and to be a whole lot kinder
He hopes and he prays though it might take awhile
That God will restore his faith like a child
Faith like a child; Oh handle with care
One day you’ll look and it won’t be there
Can the Good Lord’s Book make sense of life’s trials?
Oh to have faith; faith like a child
Oh to have faith; faith like a child
Oh to have faith; faith like a child

What's in a Name
03:27

What's in a name, my daughter
I see kindness in your tea cup of water
I'll love you even when you're away
I'll love you with a song
Songs stay
What's in a name
What's in a name
It's everything to me, it's an honor
What's in a name, my second daughter
Life's an adventure book when you're the author
My love's the beach shore where you play
My smile's the ocean waves
Oh, what a day
What's in a name
What's in a name
It's everything to me; it's an honor
What's in a name
What's in a name
It's everything to me to be your father
What's in a name, my son
The dinner laughter and yard work left undone
I'II love you even when you're away
I'II love you with a song
Songs stay
What's in a name
What's in a name
It's everything to me; it's an honor
What's in a name
What's in a name
It's everything to me
Everything to me
It's everything to me to be your father
