When I was a boy growing up
Dad would set me on his knee,
He would take out that old Bible
And to the family he would read.

Pop would always find a passage
That reflected the world that day,
He’d read the scripture and teach
And it would fit life in every way.

He taught us there is no problem
God didn’t tell about in His book,
And every problem had an answer
If we all just take the time to look.

I thank the Lord for my dear father
And for the lessons from those times,
I’ve learned to always to look to God
Where all the answers are easy to find...
