Happy Father's Day!

My daddy and me - 1968

On this occasion of Father's Day, I want to proclaim how incredibly blessed I have been with the main men in my life--my dad and my husband. Praise be to the Lord for being so, so kind to me by giving me these true loving men! This song always brings tears to my eyes--because it is just SO TRUE for me. Press PLAY under the lyrics to listen.

Jesus, Daddy, and You
(original lyrics by Rebecca Lynn Howard)

In the back of my mind there's a sweet memory
Of an old front porch swing and daddy singing to me
I can still feel the touch of his loving hands
In my eyes he was the one perfect man
The first of three men I gave my heart to: Jesus, Daddy and you.

Come Sunday morning I knew where I'd be
Sitting beside Mama with Daddy preaching to me
Where I put my life in two nail scarred hands
The day that I fell for one more perfect man
The men I have loved had been so true: Jesus, Daddy, and you.

There are three kinds of love that everyone needs
I knew that something was missing for me

Then you came along and completed my life
I saw Jesus and Daddy in your loving eyes
I looked up when you put the ring on my hand
And I thanked God for one more perfect man
Three men in my life whose love has been true: Jesus, Daddy and you.
Three men in my life I gave my heart to: Jesus, Daddy and you.

My honey and me - 1990
