Fathers

Father's Day is a month away.  We have a tendency to make more of Mother's Day.  There a several great "Father's" songs in the Primary Songbook that have some great messages about our fathers.  Let's learn some!

"Fathers" p. 209

  • picture of a home (house)
  • picture of a church
  • picture of God the Father and His son, Jesus (first vision)
Sing the first verse.  Point out the rhyming words - family/me and light/right
Sing it three times with the children.

Sing the second verse.  Rhyming words are - care/there and needs/deeds
Sing it three times with the children.

Sing the third verse.   Rhyming words are - call/all and One/Son
Sing it three times with the children.

Chorus:
  • Sing the chorus
  • "Special" is used twice in the first phrase.  
    • fathers are special
    • they have a special love
  • I use a word strip for the next phrase to help everyone remember the order
    • watch - protect
    • guide - direct
  • The last phrase, point up to heaven
Sing it three times with the children.

Now try the whole song!
