Glad You’re My Father Christian Father’s Day Song | You Showed Me the Father
Glad You’re My Father Christian Father’s Day Song – A Tribute to Godly Dads by Malachi Ben-David
“You held my tiny hand when I could barely stand… Glad you’re my father — you showed me the Father.”
Malachi Ben-David’s tender “Glad You’re My Father” is a beautiful Christian Father’s Day song that honors the quiet, faithful dad whose steady hands, early-morning prayers, and constant presence pointed his children to the Father in heaven.
This scripture-rooted Father’s Day song is written as a grown child’s tribute — the kind of Father’s Day song that celebrates not the perfect dad, but the faithful one whose life said everything.
The Story & Heart of “Glad You’re My Father”
The song opens in a child’s earliest memories: a father who held tiny hands, taught how to pray, worked with tired hands, and still made time to laugh. His love is described as “steady rain” — not dramatic, but constant.
The chorus names the single greatest thing this father did: “Glad you’re my father — you showed me the Father.” That line is the theological heart of this Christian Father’s Day song. A godly dad’s highest calling is to live in such a way that when his children later meet the Father in heaven, they already recognize Him.
