Previously, I wrote about the version of the worship song “I am Free” that we wrote for Mother’s Day. Actually, that Tim Bauman, one of our guitarists, wrote. Well, now it’s time for the Father’s Day version, which we’ll do this coming Sunday. Once again, Tim out-did himself. And once again, I’m sure, we’ll see people smiling all across the congregation as we do this song.

Here are the lyrics Tim wrote. I hope Jon Egan, the song’s author, is okay with this.

“I Am Free”

Verse 1
Today is Father’s Day,
That’s why we sing this tune
So just relax we say
Or golf all afternoon.
Do what you like to do,
Because we love you,
It’s your day.

Chorus 1
We are free to mow (you are free to mow)
We are free to trim (you are free to trim)
We will do this all for you
’cause our love for you is true
And it’s your day.

Verse 2
We’ll take you out to lunch
How ’bout a T-bone steak?
And then to Dairy Queen
To buy an ice cream cake.
We’ll do this all for you,
Because we love you
It’s your day.

Chorus 2
We are free to mow (you are free to mow)
We are free to trim (you are free to trim)
We will do this all for you
’cause our love for you is true
And it’s your day.
It’s your day.

Ending Chorus
We are free to mow (you are free to mow)
We are free to trim (you are free to trim)
But I guess we’ll have to pass
’cause the mower’s out of gas
But it’s your day.
Yes it’s your day.
