I am the proud father of two adult children. I have been playing the guitar for various church bands for over 25 years. All of these songs are original and reflect a preference to Christian music with a country rhythm.

Story behind the song

As the title suggests, this is a lovesong born of a father's heart. As the words came to me I thought of my own adult children and just how much I cherish them as we all grow older. As I reviewed the completed project, it occured to me that this is more of a lovesong of our Heavenly Father to each one of His children

Lyrics

A Father's Promise


I have loved you since before the day I first laid eyes on you
When you nestled in the comfort of my arms
And I promised you that very day that I would shelter you
From the troubles of this world and all its harms

	
	And this love I have for you – it  will never cease to be
	It doesn't matter where life's pathway leads you on
	Because there's nothing you could ever do to make the promise void
	It's a promise that's renewed with every dawn


Even when the disappointments come – as they will surely do
And from the pain there's no where you can hide
I will always be a resting place where  you can be restored
From the fury of the storm and raging tide

	For the world in which you live – shows no mercy to the weak
	You know the wounded of this life they throw away
	But when I see the sparrow fall and I notice where he lands
	That's the same way that I care for you each day

So why are you  concerned about the things you cannot change
I've recorded every hair upon your head
Just consider how I clothe you like the lilies of the field
And each morning I provide your daily bread

	You will never have a care that escapes My watchful eye
	And you will never have a need I can't provide
	Though the whole world might abandon you and leave you all alone
	When you want me I'll be standing by your side
