God's Clarion Call

The solemn marriage- wife and husband One woman, one man- hand in hand Together vow their love and fidelity A family begins responsibly

What matters the most, lasts the longest

And within the home, we are strongest

It should be strengthened and kept foremost

There is no question- love gives the most

Hear! Oh hear, God’s clarion call

The family is His gift to all

When we've a conflict or crisis

There is a lot we must process

And we see how strong families connect

For they are supportive, help, and protect

As priorities shut the child out

Declined values confuse and doubt

For the survival of the family

Children should be reared carefully

Hear! Oh hear, God’s clarion call

The family is His gift to all

Each member is in need of scaffolding

Held up by daily prayers they are holding

And, weekly there should be one evening

Set aside for home and believing

Each member should feel they are cherished,

Known, and loved by their brother, Jesus

His message to all cannot be ignored or denied

"Love one another-For you I suffered. I died!"

Hear! Oh hear, God’s clarion call

The family is His gift to all

We must now measure, we must fulfill

And live according to the Father's will

What matter's the most, lasts the longest

Believe this... With God and family we endure life's test

Hear! Oh hear, God’s clarion call

The family is His gift to all
