If you are blessed to have grown up in a Christian home with a Christian dad, stepdad, or granddad, take a look at the inspirational Father’s Day poetry below. “God Give Us Christian Homes” is actually a four-stanza hymn by B. B. McKinney. I think the two verses I have included here would make a beautiful card. You could have children draw a picture of a house on the front of the card, and then inside, you could have a picture of Dad with his family. This would be great to put on a scrapbook page or in a photo book. It’s so inspirational. Christian poetry for Father’s Day is not always easy to find, but going back to old hymns is one way of doing it.
If you’re looking for more contemporary inspirational poems for your dad, you might like to use the words to “Love will be Our Home” by the wonderful Steven Curtis Chapman.
God Give Us Christian Homes
God, give us Christian homes!
Homes where the Bible is loved and taught,
Homes where the Master’s will is sought,
Homes crowned with beauty Your love has wrought;
God, give us Christian homes;
God, give us Christian homes!
Homes where the father is true and strong,
Homes that are free from the blight of wrong,
Homes that are joyous with love and song;
God, give us Christian homes,
God, give us Christian homes!
by B. B. McKinney
Love will be Our Home
If home is really where the heart is
Then home must be a place that we all share
for even with our differences our hearts are much the same
And where love is we come together there.
Wherever there is laughter ringing
Someone smiling, someone dreaming
We can live together there
Love will be our home.
Wherever there are children singing
Where a tender heart is beating
We can live together there
Love will be our home
With love our hearts can be a family
And hope can bring this family face to face
And though we may be far apart our hearts can be as one
When love brings us together in one place.
Wherever there is laughter ringing
Someone smiling, someone dreaming
We can live together there
Love will be our home.
Where there are words of kindness spoken
Where a vow is never broken
We can live together there
Love will be our home
by Steven Curtis Chapman
