Father, Father of all Things

Today is Father's Day.  In church we had sharing time to thank our fathers or the father of our children.  Well, I think it is also a great time to thank our Heavenly Father.  Sometimes it's hard to verbalize praise to God and thank Him for who He is.  But, we can try anyway.  This hymn is a prayer to God.  Each verse is to a member of the Trinity, and the first is specifically to God the Father.  The first line says, "We bless you."  It's important that we realize why we were made.  We were made to bring God glory.  So let us bless Him by living a life that is glorifying to Him.  Easier said than done, I know.  But, let's make it our goal this week to try to bless God with our obedience and with our prayer time and with our interactions with others.  Let's try to glorify Him...let's try to love and adore Him and let's have our life sing forth His praise.  Please pray this prayer to God.  Happy Father's Day!

1. Father, Father of all things, we bless you.  Father we love and adore you.  O Father, your children praise you.  Father, Father of light, and power, Father, your greatness surrounds the earth and all of your children declare you are Lord.  2. Jesus, only Son of the living God, Jesus, you willingly suffered that through you we might know His love.  Jesus, cleanse us, your people, and fill us.  Pour down your Spirit upon us that we as your body may show forth your love. 3. Spirit, sent by the Son to dwell in us, living and working within us to make us more like Jesus; Spirit, fall down upon us as fire.  Fill and equip us with power and draw from us love and praise to the Lord.
