Lyrics:
Today I still remember ev'ry smile;
each tender word, each strong embrace.
Each treasured step down life's dusty mile,
dearest father.

Your patient kindness as I learned to see;
your steady voice of truth and love;
devoted faith in who I could be,
dearest father.

But seasons come, and seasons go,
and ev'ry year I see:
my deep regard for you has grown.
Your love abides in me.

Today I still remember ev'ry face;
each tiny hand enclosed in mine;
the sacred blessing of each new day
as a father.

The joy of seeing ev'ry child grow;
the peace of teaching them God's word;
the light of faith in their hearts aglow;
as a father.

Still ev'ry day my mind expands,
and now I've come to see
that I can love as father here
because Someone loves me.

Today I raise my voice and lift my eyes
to follow, honor, and obey;
in praise of all that Thy love provides,
Holy Father!

In all the earth and sky we see Thy hand.
In ev'ry breath Thy grace is known.
For ev'ry life glorifies Thy plan,
Holy Father!

So on this day we give Thee thanks
for all that Thou hast giv'n.
And in our hearts Thy praise impart
for ev'ry joy we live.

Today I still remember Heaven's love;
each hour of life, each golden day,
has been a gift from our God above,
dearest Father.

As a Father.
Holy Father.
Father.
