FATHER AND A FRIEND

Composed by Micah T. Bear

(G)Lord, I need You (D)more,
As (C)each little one grows (G)bigger
To be (C)just teaching them how fair
You've (G)always (Am7)been with me;(G)
To be (Bm)loving. Love is (C)what You'll always (D)be.

Chorus:
'Cause they'll (C)only know You by my ways with (G)them.
They'll (C)only learn to (G)love and trust
By a (Am)sample of a (C)father and a (Dsus4)friend.(D)-(G)

And (G)Lord, I need You (D)more
As (C)each young one grows (G)older,
To be (C)firm as the rock Your hand has (Bm)been be(Am)neath my (G)feet.
To be (Bm)tender, softening the (C)hardness they will (D)meet.

[Repeat chorus]

Please (Am)make me more in Your (G)image.
Help my (Am)weakness to be Your (G)strength.
(Am)Don't ever let (G/B)me (C)fail them a(D)gain.

(Am)Now I see Your (G)plan for them,
And (Am)what You've done for (G)me;
And I (Am)see the load's (G/B)too (C)big for me a(D)lone.

[Repeat chorus twice]
(C)-(G)-(C)-(G)
(Am)-(G/B)-(C)-(Dsus4)-(D) [Repeat]
