He is the Father
For the wrongs you've done
you receive discipline
you learn obedience
as you learn
when you think on He who is,
your obedience becomes a given
your attitude changes
You are the son, the daughter
He is the Father
You owe Him your respect
your allegiance
your obedience
because of who He is
not because of who you are
or think you are
God, our most holy Father
in heaven
has all authority
yet He doesn't push it,
doesn't demand it,
doesn't tell us to do this and that
... or else
He gives us freedom
Will we choose wisely
and follow the path
directed by our Father
or will be choose foolishly
following a path of
self-destruction
God's blessings are the best
in all of life,
no matter what circumstances
we find ourselves drawn into.
