Tonalidad: A minor
Verse 1
[Baptist Rev. Saul
S. Williams (Saul's father) 1999:]
F
I just want to talk about a good father.
Now, coming from me,
if you where to personally
look at my life,
you would ask the question,
"What do you know about
a good father?"
And that would be a fair question,
because one of
the statements I have written
on my notes
Dm
here today is that men need examples.
F
That's not holy men,
all of us are helped by examples.
But it does seem that as men
we feel better when
other men show us that they are man
enough to do whatever it is that we have
Dm
F
hesitancy in doing.
Am
F
Am
Whether it is cook, sew,
F
Dm
F
Am
F
maybe sit or to
Dm
shout, clap our hands, cry.
Am
F
We sometimes can't do it until we
Dm
see other men who have lost themselves
Am
F
Dm
Am
in the praise of God and in life.
F
So it would certainly be a fair question,
Dm
Am
F
on this Father's Day, to ask,
Dm
"What do you know
Am
about a good father?"
F
Now, when I say father I
Dm
am speaking of one who
Am
F
is the guardian or biological
Dm
Am
F
male in your life.
Dm
Who takes you out with them,
Am
F
who teaches
you and gives you the in
Dm
Am
structions to follow.
F
Proverbs talks about the son
Dm
or daughter following
Am
F
the instructions of the father. Well,
Dm
certainly there is no
Am
equivication about that, that's
F
wonderful, howe'er,
Dm
in order to follow one's instructions
they most know what
Am
F
they're do ing.
Dm
We ask, sociologically,
Am
F
why are there so
Dm
many messed up families,
Am
F
what's the problem?
Well in most of those cases,
Dm
Am
those children
F
have no or little example to follow.
Dm
Am
There are exceptions but in
F
most of those cases
Dm
they have little or no example
Am
Dm
F
to follow.
Dm
A good father is more
than one who
Am
F
provides shelter,
Dm
Am
food and body coverage.
F
Now, I pray that those fathers who are
Dm
Am
here and those mothers who had to
F
be fathers also and everyone
once in a while we find
some fathers who had to be mothers
Dm
Em
also:
