This is a story about Daddies
who wanted to show God to their kids.
They planned, packed, kissed the mommies good-bye
and camping is what they did!
The Daddies arrived, the children unloaded.
Tents were pitched. Agendas were ditched.
Off to explore,
little Indians ran and played.
The Daddies inhaled
and praised God for the splendid day.
God took the praise
and replied in the form of a kiss-
From their little children
whose mommies they did not miss.
These Daddies wanted to show
God to their kids
So they rallied their troops, put on hiking boots
and ascended the Mountain is what they did.
The path was beaten, the children arrived
a little tattered and bruised
But how could you explain
with words a beautiful view?
The rocks, the trees, the buzzing of bees
revealed God along the way.
But the view from the top
removed any words they could say.
The children praised God
for His amazing creation plan.
God received their praise and returned it
with their Daddies extended hands.
There were some Daddies who wanted to show
God to their kids....
So they descended the Mountain, grabbed a snack
and to the river is what they did.
The sound of rushing water, the feel of pebbles smooth
and the still reflection of the sky blue
Were all ways of God showing His kids
how He delights in you.
The Daddies gave God praise for creating
a perfect place to play and splash.
God received the praise and sent it back with
the glorious sound of their children's laugh.
There were some Daddies who wanted to show
God to their kids.
They built a fire for their children
to dry off and warm.
They cooked them supper and fed them campfire entrees
that were not the everyday norm.
They laughed and played,
giggled, talked and chattered.
The children delighted in the fact that they had
their Daddies and nothing else mattered.
There were some Daddies who wanted to show
God to their kids...
it's no surprise
that is exactly what they did!
