A father is a child's first glimpse of God
The beginning of their understanding of Him
A portrait of His strength and shelter
The first example of His authority
And His mercy
The child seeks his face and approval
As they will one day seek God's
They follow in his footsteps
As they will one day follow in God's

They follow in his footsteps
As they will one day follow in God's
