Heavenly Father
Ray Boltz's song 'Heavenly Father' is a tender worship ballad expressing gratitude and love for God as a caring Father. The lyrics describe starting a new day in God's presence, acknowledging His goodness, and finding joy in prayer and surrender.

The song emphasizes the desire to be close to God, away from the rush of the world, and celebrates the complete joy found at His feet. It is a simple, heartfelt expression of devotion and thanksgiving.
Here we are together
Start of a new day
In these precious moments
I've got so much to say
When I think about who You are
And all the things that You do
I lift my voice
And start praising You
Heavenly Father
You're such a good father to me
Heavenly Father
There's no place that I'd rather be
Some days are much better
Than the ones before
But everyday I spend with You
I love You that much more
Even when I fail You
And I try to turn and run
You take my hand
And I know I'm Your son
The world rushes by
Day after day
There's so much to do
There's no time to pray
But I've found with You
A joy that's complete
Kneeling at Your feet
Heavenly Father
You're such a good father to me
Heavenly Father
There's no place that I'd rather be
