A Father's Prayer
A E F#m C#m
Bless this day that it might be
D E E7
Free from all uncertainty
A E F#m C#m
Free from tears and fears and doubt
D E A
Peace is all that matters
And bless this house Lord while it stands
For this old house is in Your Hands
And when it falls then bless the ground
For the ground is all that truly matters
F#m C#m
Bless this child with trusting eyes
D Bm A
That he may grow to realize
F#m C#m
Right from wrong and truth from lies
D E
For the truth is all that matters
And bless this woman here at my side
When I need a place to hide
I crawl into her loving eyes
D E F#m D Bm
Where I find a place to sleep
E E7 A
Love is all that matters

Half
