If you’d like to be a Champion,
And be known as one for Life,
Then you must pass a blessing on
To keep your kids from strife.
You should stand close by your children
And let them hear you say,
To hell and back I’ll go with you
For I’m behind you all the way!
And love must be unconditional.
Their performance will not do.
You must say to every kid,
I love you just because you’re you!
There are healing Powers in these words.
To hold back could bring a curse.
And if you father’s fail to do this,
Kids will find it someplace worse.
At risk youth from broken homes
Where father’s no longer stay,
Have filled our nations prisons,
Now forgotten and locked away.
As it was from the beginning,
Up until just recent times,
A fathers blessing passed along
Made family bonding shine.
And that in turn is what God used
To bolster every child.
And even to the Son of His,
When He was heard to say,
“This is My Beloved Son,”
That He chose to bless that day.
If Jesus needed a blessing,
Before His ministry was begun.
Then father’s bless your children,
Each daughter and each son.
If your father never knew you,
Or perhaps has passed away,
Or maybe even abandoned you
Then please listen to what I say!
You must find a surrogate father.
One you look up to as a man.
He may stand in for your father
And on your shoulders place his hands.
He may pass on to you his blessing,
And do it exactly in the same way.
Then forgive your own offender,
And be freed of his bonds today!
