“His Name Goes Before Me”

Walking down the road of life
Sometimes I am alone
Unknown and new, I search for home
For when I cease to roam

But He has gone before me
His name is known by all
Because his name is my name too
Even strangers heed my call

They only love me ‘cause of him
For I am not so grand
And knowing that I came from him
Makes all stretch out their hands

I know he’s far from perfect
I’m sure he knows it too
But he follows hard the promises
Our God is faithful to

As he grows old and wiser
I wish to be like him
With kindness in my eyes
And my every words a hymn

His name’s his pride, like our God
It’s what he answers to
And at the ending of his life
It will have proven true

How beautiful it is
That his name can keep me safe
And because of him I find

Solace in any place

Fathers' Day 2014
