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
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 IS
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 HEARD 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
THEN I'D SING THAT
SONG OF LOVE
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
KNOWIN' THAT WHAT
YOU'VE DONE FOR CHRIST
IS ALL THAT IS REALLY
GONNA LAST
LIKE MY FATHER'S SONG
