Oh Heavenly Father,
Into your hands I give
My Father of earth
Who was Yours from Eternity
And mine since memory
Imprinted him into my blurred vision
As the strong one
The source of fun
The face of stern concern.
Oh Heavenly Father,
I mourn the loss of gifts
You gave through him
To me, to grow me
Until I might see him
As You do,
And to see Your face
In the empty space
He leaves behind.
Oh Heavenly Father,
Who promises ne’er to leave,
Be now to me
All that he was.
Clear the vision
Fulfill the role
So that I in your hands
Am child again
As I was to my earthly father.
