Courage of Our Fathers

Abraham gave all he had even his only son,
To show the way of an even greater One.
The faith he had was small,
But it would set example for us all.

Joseph was soon to be joined to his wife,
And he was soon to experience the greatest joy in his life.
God let him know what was to be done,
He and Mary were to welcome God's Son.

Jesus had the courage to go the cross,
And many thought that it would be to His loss.
He continued up that hill to take away our sin,
This sacrifice was made for all men.

Our fathers fought to keep the land free,
And to protect our family's tree.
It took courage when none was left,
Through it all, none were bereft.


Our Heavenly Father intended the best,
If He is our choice, then He will do the rest.
Ask for the courage, today, and He will provide,
Because it is in you that your family does confide.
