THANK YOU, FATHER
Autumn 1979, Bryn Mawr PA

Thank you, Father, for the sun that dances on my eyes
   Warming a peaceful afternoon
Thank you, Father, for the colors in the Autumn sky
   Swirling beneath a laughing moon
Thank you, Father, for the wood that made my sweet guitar
   Turning my passion into song
Thank you, Father, for the magic-maker that you are
   Carry my melody along

      All I wish to say when on my knees I pray
      All I want to do my Lord is follow you...

Thank you, Father, for the humble place I lay my head
   Sleeping my fantasies away
Thank you, Father, for the bakers of my daily bread
   Keeping me fed from day to day

    I want my attitude to show ev'ryone how much gratitude we owe you
    I can't believe you gave your only Son so all men might come to know you

      All I wish to say when on my knees I pray
      All I want to do my Lord is follow you...

Thank you, Father, for the merry folk I call my friends
   Thanks for my dear family
Thank you, Father, for your awesome love that never ends
   Reminding me how happily
      We all can thankful be...
