On Father's Day, we lift our prayer,
For dads who guide with love and care.
Their hearts, so strong, in faith they stand,
Leading us with God’s own hand.

Through trials, joy, and all that’s true,
They show His love in all they do.
Bless them, Lord, with peace and light,
For they reflect Your love so bright.
