Children are a blessing

From generation to generation,

We pass the story on,

So the little ones not yet born

Will know where they belong.

We’ve all had fathers who shaped us,

Taught us wrong from right,

And the Father of spirits calls us

To walk in His light.

Discipline can feel like fire,

But it’s love that makes us strong.

If we learn the way while we’re younger,

We’ll stand when life gets long.

’Cause children are a blessing, yeah,

A heritage, a reward.

Like arrows in a warrior’s hand,

We’re guided by the Lord.

Fathers, don’t break their spirits—

Lift them up with gentle truth.

And children, honor your parents,

Let love carry you through.

Talk about the truth at daybreak,

When you’re walking down the road,

When you’re resting in the evening,

Let the seeds of wisdom grow.

A child left without guidance

Can stumble in the dark,

But love that teaches with patience

Lights a fire in the heart.

[Bridge)

No discipline is easy,

Sometimes you wanna run.

But peace comes in the later days

For daughters and for sons.

Yeah, children are a blessing,

A heritage, a reward.

Like arrows in a warrior’s hand,

We’re guided by the Lord.

Fathers, don’t bring them bitterness—

Show them mercy, show them grace.

And children, listen closely,

Let love shape your days.

[Bridge)

You know… sometimes love is gentle,

And sometimes it’s firm.

But real love… real love teaches,

Corrects,

Restores.

And every son, every daughter,

Needs the voice of a father,

And the wisdom of a mother,

To find their way home.

Yeah, children are a blessing,

A heritage, a reward.

Like arrows in a warrior’s hand,

We’re guided by the Lord.

Fathers, don’t bring them bitterness—

Show them mercy, show them grace.

And children, listen closely,

Let love shape your days.

Children are a blessing,

A promise to the world.

For all who are near and far off,

Every boy and every girl.

So fathers, raise them with honor,

And mothers, guide them with love.

For the generations coming,

May they rise on wings above.

We pass it on, we pass it on…

From our hearts to theirs,

From theirs to the next—

A legacy of love that never ends.
