Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Elder Richard Ayodele
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
Lord Thy Word Abideth
The Composed Song
1. Ye fathers of the children
See that ye teach your children
How prayers should be offered
Yea and the word of God
2. Ye fathers of the children
Bring even thine children up
And that also in the faith
That is in Jesus Christ
3. Ye fathers of the children
As ye interact with thine children
Do not provoke ‘em to anger
Lest their hearts be discouraged
4. Ye fathers of the children
Ensure that you ‘r doing this
Thou should guide thine children by
‘Dmonish an’ nurturin’ ‘em in the Lord
5. Ye fathers of the children
With wisdom thou should also
Be living with thine children
Even in the world we live in
6. Ye fathers of the children
Fix thy gaze on Jesus christ
Let thine deed and b’havior
Also be impeccable
7. Ye fathers of the children
Be thou a good example
Even unto thine children
Even as Jesus is to thee
