…you may like to begin your day with the worship song, “Good, Good Father” (as sung by Chris Tomlin, found on You Tube)
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17
“For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.'” Romans 8:15
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are.” 1 John 3:1
“In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.” Ephesians 1:5

We, too, can go from the garden tomb, a place that had seen God’s glory, to tell all the world of what Christ has done–this world’s greatest love story. “I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God,” Jesus said. They’re still words that speak of “Family” to those who’ll believe that He rose from the dead.
Good, Good Father co-written by Pat Barrett and Tony Brown
Oh, I’ve heard a thousand stories
of what they think You’re like;
but I’ve heard the tender whisper
of love in the dead of night.
And You tell me that You’re pleased,
and that I’m never alone.
You’re a good, good Father…
It’s Who You are,
It’s Who You are,
It’s Who You are,
and I’m loved by You.
It’s Who I Am,
It’s Who I Am,
It’s Who I Am…
And I’ve seen many searching for answers
far and wide; but I know we’re all searching
for answers only You provide…
’cause You know just what we need
before we say a word.
You’re a good, good Father…
It’s Who You are,
It’s Who You are,
It’s Who You are,
and I’m loved by You.
It’s Who I Am,
It’s Who I Am,
It’s Who I Am…
You are perfect in all of Your ways,
You are perfect in all of Your ways,
You are perfect in all of Your ways…
to us.
Oh, it’s love so undeniable,
I can hardly speak…
peace so unexplainable,
I can hardly think,
as You call me deeper still,
as You call me deeper still,
as You call me deeper still
into love, love, love…
You’re a good, good Father…
It’s Who You are,
It’s Who You are,
It’s Who You are,
and I’m loved by You.
It’s Who I Am,
It’s Who I Am,
It’s Who I AM…
You’re a good, good Father…
It’s Who You are,
It’s Who You are,
It’s Who You are,
and I’m loved by You.
It’s Who I Am,
It’s Who I Am,
It’s Who I Am…
You are perfect in all of Your ways,
You are perfect in all of Your ways,
You are perfect in all of Your ways…
to us.
