(CS4U) Daily Worship - Happy Wednesday - Bad Dad - ApologetiX

Today's song is a parody of the one that was used as the theme song for one of the earlier American Idols so I thought you would like a letter that spoofs their logo!  Ha!  I couldn't get a large graphic and I already enlarged it to the point where it was starting to get blurry, but it's fun anyway.  The words to this song encourage those of us that had less than stellar examples from our parents while we were growing up.  I know that there are a bunch of you that could use some blessing from God's Word in that area.  Here we go!     Bad Dad (Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.  Psalm 27:10)   Where was your father when you needed him most? He picks up and leaves and there's bad things he does You tell me your bloodline's made that way You tell me your dad has gone astray And you don't feel like carryin' on   You're stranded in life 'cause of him and you know You figure that now there's a curse on your soul You tell me you'd like me to change your mind Read all of Ezekiel 18 and find The child don't need to bear the brunt   'Cause you had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now? Who said your dad's son just can't turn it around? In case you don't know -- I'll show you a couple guys The worst in the Bible -- but the kids were alright You had a bad break -- you family's gone awry But calm it back down, baby, really, don't cry You have a better fate -- You gotta have faith   Well, you need to cruise by Psalms today The 27th chapter -- what's it say When dad don't seem to care at all?   You had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now? Who said your dad's son can't just turn it around? In ages long ago -- King Ahaz was a guy Who's worthless and vile -- but he had Hezekiah And after that day, King Amon arrived He brought a black cloud, but his kid was Josiah Who brought a better day (oh, follow me)   Second Kings 16 through 23 show you how things can turn around King Ahaz and Amon were bad to the bone But they had the most righteous sons to be on the throne Yeah   So, where was your daddy when you needed him most? Oh, you know what? You need to believe in a Dad you can trust.   'Cause you had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now? Who said your dad's son can't just turn it around? In Second Chronicles 28 through 35 Ahaz was reviled but they love Hezekiah And how about Amon -- he was despised But, how they revered his son Josiah He had a better fate -- you gotta have faith You gotta have faith     Father, thank You for the encouragement You give us in Your Word.  You can speak to us in every situation in our lives.  Even when the people we trust the most fail us, You are there.  Your Word tells us what we need to hear and encourages us to live godly lives.  We have You as our example and the saints to exhort us on the way.  Thank You, dear Father.  Thank You.

"But what does it say? 'The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart' - that is, the word of faith whch we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation."  Romans 10:8-10   Join my Yahoo Group: Caring for Your Kids Kids   Living Sword Ministries Bible Study Website To receive the Daily Worship   Please do not post my creations on websites or in groups that also post AC/SAC material.   My work is meant to honor the Lord God and I would be ashamed to see it displayed in such company.    Graphic from WWW Font: Splendid February - 2011   Image from shares, scans, or www This is a private e-mail and is covered by Title 18, Part I, Chapter 47, Sec. 1030 and Internet Privacy Law.
