Gospel/Christian Bible-based songs
Music has always been a special joy to me. While still a child I enjoyed classical guitar and piano lessons. While growing up I had opportunity to play for our church youth group. More recently I have begun to write songs. They vary widely in style and are not confined to any one genre. My goal is to please the One who is the song-giver; to honour Him in all I write and play. It is my sincere desire that the Lord uses the music I write to draw people closer to Himself. Wherever you are at in relationship to God, may this music touch your heart and be a blessing to you.

Story behind the song
A friend came to me with thoughts on the relationship between God the Father and His children. He asked if I would write a song about them. So I gave it a try and this song is the outcome.
Lyrics
Father Based on 1 John 3:1 CCLI Song No. 4653163 Key: C Chorus How great is Your love, Father, That You call me Your own. You’ve brought me into Your family; Oh, what kindness You have shown! I draw near to You, Father And lift my voice in praise. For the joy of being Your child I will thank You all my days. Verse 1 It’s You who held me by the hand And taught me how to walk Intently You were listening As I learned how to talk Since I was born You’ve carried me In Your arms, close to Your heart You’re eager to spend time with me; We need never be apart. Repeat chorus Verse 2 So intimately You know me You see all that I do Even what I’m thinking Is not hidden from You. You long for me with compassion Even when I go astray. When I turn back, You run to me And lead me gently in Your way Repeat chorus Verse 3 As my Father, You delight In me; I make You smile You sing to me a love song All because I am Your child. How can I do anything But love You in return? Only for You, my Father, My soul within me yearns. Repeat chorus 2x Ending For the joy of being Your child I will thank You all my days.
