SONGS on SUNDAYS: FATHER'S LOVE 28.6.15


Welcome to #SONGSonSUNDAYS !

~
Reflecting on 'Father',
I recognize my valuing of God, in the role of Father,
has increased to fill my need
since the loss of my earthly father .
"God in his holy dwelling,
is a father to orphans..."
Psalm 68.5
How intricately God is involved in our lives as Father.
Today's #SONGSonSUNDAYS is a favourite 
- FATHER'S LOVE LETTER -
to inspirit us all in the encompassing embrace of our Father.
