FATHER'S TOUCH
(Eli Seals)
Early to rise, late to bed
Your calloused hands, you kept us fed
Taught us to swim and how to work
No matter come what may, we went to church
We sat up straight, we bowed and prayed
You taught us all the things we should
and shouldn't say
Thank you father, for all you've done
When the world pushed me down,
you were there to fall back on
Thank you father, for your love
I never listened, you never gave up
Thank you for loving me so much
And showing me the strength
and power of a father's touch
You made the moon, the earth and stars
Created life, now here we are
You made the lame walk again
Took the darkness from the blind
and let the light shine in
Of all the gifts that you could give
You gave your son, so we could live
Thank you father, for all you've done
When the world pushed me down,
you were there to fall back on
Thank you father, for your love
I never listened, you never gave up
Thank you for loving me so much
And showing me the strength
and power of a father's touch
Thank you for loving me so much
And showing me the strength
and power of a father's touch
