Lyrics for "A Hymn To Our Father"

Psalm 147a. 

 

You number the stars

And give each one a name

You send  clouds to cover the sky

You water  the earth with gentle  rains

Gentle  rains

 

And in Your heart, O God

We will never be forgotten

We are Your children

And You are the Father

 

Chorus: 

Our Father

We love You

You are so good to us

All Your mercy

All Your goodness

Has surrounded us in love

Our Father

We love You

You are so good to us

All Your goodness

All Your mercy

Has surrounded us in love

 

You look down from heaven

You see the broken hearts

Our great physician, You bind up our wounds

With gentle care, gentle care

 

And in Your heart, O God

We will never be forgotten

We are Your children

And You are the Father

 

Chorus: 

Our Father

We love You

You are so good to us

All Your goodness

All Your mercy

Has surrounded us in love

Our Father

We love You

You are so good to us

All Your goodness

All Your mercy

Has surrounded us in love
