And, by His grace, new life impart... Washing away all sin.

A new man walks in righteousness, Obeying God above,

Delivered from his selfishness... Filled with the fruit of love.

But if you look inside Dad’s heart, where no one else can see, You’ll find he’s sentimental and as “soft” as he can be… But he’s too busy every day in the grueling race of life., He leaves the sentimental stuff to his partner his wife… But fathers are just wonderful
