A Father’s Day Poem for My Husband

Lovingly you lead

…Our family every day

Righteously you guide

…Your example points the way

Courageously you stand

…For truth and what is right

Honorably you serve

…the Lord with all your might

Patiently you teach

…Imparting what you know

Graciously you correct

…God’s love to us you show

Mightily you labor

…Providing for each need

Sacrificially you extend

…Your time and energy

Valiantly you protect

…In fighting any foe

Humbly you respond,

…“It’s by God’s grace alone”

Generously you give

…Your time, attention, and love

Spiritually you challenge

…Your eyes stay fixed above

Biblically you counsel

…Pointing to the One

Boldly you proclaim

…The Gospel through His Son

Consistently you pray

… Every burden, every care

Faithfully you read God’s Word

…And of its Truth you share

Quietly you listen

…To every word that’s said

Tenderly you give kisses,

…As you tuck each child in bed

Kindly you display

…Compassion to us all

Playfully you demonstrate

…How to kick a soccer ball

Energetically you accomplish

…Each task there is to do

Zealously you live

…The life God has called you to

Prayerfully, I thank the Lord

...For all He’s enabled you to be

Wonderfully sweet; music to my ears

…To hear our children call you

Daddy

 

Happy Father’s Day!

 

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.  (Psalm 37:23)
