He's been known throughout time
By so many names:
Creator of Worlds,
And Ruler of all.
And I do not disagree
With the ones I have heard,
Like the First and the Last
And Wonderful,
Eternal and Endless,
Provider and King,
And His Majesty.
But when I think of the hundreds of
Prayers that I've prayed,
There are so many more
That I'd add to these.
Like Mathematician,
Concert Musician,
Master Physician,
And Listening Friend,
Who knows all about cars
And my fragile heart.
So the best name would still have to be
Heavenly Father.
And when I'm helping a friend
He has sharpened my mind
When I've asked that my lips could say
All the right things.
And He could part the Red Sea
And still keep me from shaking
When I pray that my hands could hit
All the right strings.
And He has always been there
To handle the big things,
But He can still find a way
To help me with tricky equations,
And dark twisty highways,
And children with fevers.
I know I can pray
To the Mathematician,
Concert Musician,
Master Physician,
And Listening Friend,
Who knows all about cars
And my fragile heart.
So the best name would still have to be
Heavenly Father.
And isn't it just what a father would do,
Helping his children with all that he knew,
And then using his wisdom
To step back sometimes
On some of the answers
We're just meant to find for ourselves?
So we can be mathematicians,
Concert musicians,
Mothers, physicians,
And listening friends.
We can learn about cars
And we can heal broken hearts
With the love that we've learned first hand
From a Heavenly Father.
