Story Behind The Song

Written as my wife was about to give birth to our daughter! It has become a traditional favorite at Church on Father's Day!

THE FATHER'S CARE

WORDS: LAURA & EDDIE CAVAZOS
MUSIC: EDDIE CAVAZOS

Verse 1

Friday night pizzas and chocolate shakes
Saturday mornings at their soccer games.
Birthday parties with candles aflame,
waiting to blow them all out!

Holding hands to cross the street,
losing a tooth and then finding a treat.
Bedtime stories snug under the sheets,
'til we are snoring out loud!

Climb

Lord, it won't be long before they're all gone,
I'll keep the mem'ries in my soul.
And these gifts so sweet will one day meet
the world out on their own.

Chorus

One thing I humbly pray, Lord don't let them out of your sight.
Though the thunderstorms may come their way,
shield them with your loving might.
And if they slip and fall, will you answer their call,
will you be right by their side?
This is my one special prayer,
...that they be in the Father's Care.

Verse 2

Waking up mornings with Scooby Doo.
Summertime fun at the swimming pool.
Fall rolls around, it's the first day of school,
A few tears are shed in the hall.

Slumber parties and pillow fights,
checking their homework, "Is this answer right?"
Learning to ride on a two-wheeler bike,
trying so hard not to fall.

(To Climb, then Chorus)
