The Family Way

God gave us children to nurture and raise
To teach them good values, and Christian ways

He wants us to teach them wrong from right
Our children are all, so precious in his sight

So many are raised without God in their home
With parents working late, kids are left on their own

Too many parents now, value material things
Which sometimes leaves their children, wondering...

If this is the way "Families" are supposed to be
Each member separate, with their own latch key

And dinner together, is a thing of the past
Each of us moving in different directions so fast

We're just not taking time, to relate to each other
Families need some time just to be with one another

To talk about the highs and lows of their day
We find out what's going on, with our children that way

Our love shows, when there's mutual communication
Creating trust and respect in Parent and child relations

Our children learn God's ways, when they see
The Christian ways, in you and me

And one day when they have, children of their own
From example... they will raise them in a Christian home.
