The Porter's Gate - Every Mother Every Father (feat. Audrey Assad, Paul Zach, & Madison Cunningham)

In June, musicians, pastors, writers, and scholars from around the country gathered together in NYC to collaborate on a series of worship songs for a new worship record themed around faith and vocation. This song is by Andy Bast and Bruce Benedict and addresses the vocation of parenthood, as a blessing to every mother and every father.

God the Father gave me a waking vision of in the clouds in a glorified body. It was beautiful and I've never felt better but it wasn't that big. Looked big enough for hundreds maybe thousands. Many of you think you can hide things from DAD, you can't. Many of you are mad at GOD but are too proud to admit it. So you turn bitter and try to take HIS children. You will answer for this. You WILL meet JESUS!

I'm 73 now, still parenthood has its joys and pains ! God is with me through it all. He grows closer in the pain, Praise Him, Hallelujah.

Every father
Called to raise up
Sons or daughters
May your heart be patient
May your mind be clear
May our God be with you
And calm
Your
Fears
Oh, oh
Every mother
Every father
Called to raise up
Sons or daughters
May your heart be patient
May your mind be clear
May our God be with you
And calm
Your
Fears
Oh, oh

My dad just passed away suddenly a few days ago. Recently, he knew I was feeling burdened down and discouraged in parenting and he sent me this song. Now, it will mean so much more to me because he has gone to be with his Heavenly Father.

God is so amazing! Raising children is no easy task. First time listening to this song in the right time where I needed that reminder to be patient.
