When I was just a little child
We'd climb in this old family car
And daddy would start to sing
Before we rode very far
I really don't remember
If his songs were quite on key
But that didn't matter to me
It was my Father's song

And he sings a song of love
And a song of caring
You sing it with your heart
You sing it with your life
And it's a song of giving
Of giving much more than you're asked
And knowing that
What you've done for Christ
Is all that's gonna last

As I grew up, I heard that song
Time and time again
A gentle word, a tender touch
And that song would begin
I've hear it in his laughter
And it moves me more and more
I can see it in his eyes
When he talks about the Lord
It's my Father's song
And if I were the greatest musician
Whoever walked upon a stage
If I could sing any song that I liked
Any instrument I could play
I wouldn't need a piano
I wouldn't need a violin
I'd choose a heart filled with his love
And then I'd begin
To sing my Father's song
His song

And I'd sing that song of love
And that song of caring
You sing it with your heart
You sing it with your life
And it's a song of giving
Of giving much more than you're asked
And knowing that
What you've done for Christ
Is all that is reallt gonna last
Like my Father's song
