Do you love me?
said the father's son When he was just a child I love you son, his father said And
he looked at him and smiled Now go to bed, it's getting late And Santa's coming soon
So off he went to try to sleep Alone in his bedroom Welcome to the dark side son
And happy Halloween I'll take you trick or treating And you'll soon see what I mean
I'll dress you as a vampire And we'll have lots of fun Begging door to door with
demons Because I love you son Do you love me?
said the father's son When he was just a boy I love you son with all my heart And
you know I don't lie The Easter Bunny hid your eggs I hope that you don't mind So
off he went to look for them To see what he could find Do you love me?
said the father's son When he was just a youth Of course I do, his father said And
I always tell the truth I put your tooth under your pillow And tonight while you're
asleep The Fairy Queen will bless you son With money you can keep Do you love me?
said the father's son When he came home from school And they're teaching evolution
And they said that only fools Would believe in a creator Who designed all that
we see That's right my son I believe that's true So I don't disagree Son we all
evolved from nothing And to nothing we will go When we die we disappear And I
believe that's so So don't you worry anymore About your destiny You know that
you can trust me, son So put your faith in me Where have you been, the father said To
his pride and joy one day Dad, I went to church, what the preacher said
And he taught me how to pray That's just silly superstition, son I don't believe in
prayer And I don't believe there is a God So stay away from there Where have you
been, the father said To his son now in his teens Dad, I stayed behind at school
today With my best friend Jimmy Dean Don't lie to me, his father said Your teacher
called today You weren't in school, so where were you And what have you to say
You know how much I hated When you lied to me, my son I've told you this so many
times But you still think it's fun Now you're grounded for another week Because
you broke my rules But don't think that I don't love you, son Or take me for a fool
Do you love me, said the father When his son became a man I love you, dad,
please don't get mad But I don't understand You've lied to me since I was
born And it's because of you That I don't have faith in anything And I don't know
what to do You said there was a Santa Claus And an Easter Bunny, too And because
I love you very much I put my trust in you You told me God did not exist When I was
just a youth And if you really loved me, dad You should have told the truth Now the
Bible says the devil Is the father of all lies And he rules the world with vengeance
Seeking only to destroy All of God's creation Including you and me But he has
been defeated By the Lamb on Calvary Do you love me, said the Savior As he hung
there on that tree I love you, son, his father said And it breaks my
heart to see What the Father of all lies has done In causing all to sin But through
your blood and by my grace Mankind will live again Now the Bible says to teach
your child The way that he should go And he will not depart from it When he is old,
I know As parents we're responsible To teach them of God's ways And we'll be held
accountable For what we do and say So ask yourself this question Is what I said not
true?
And please don't think I'm throwing stones For I'm a lot like you I'm guilty of the
charges That the devil laid on me But by the grace of Yahweh I'm forgiven and set
free Now the moral of this story Is for moms and daddies too If you want your
child to grow in grace Then here's what you must do Don't raise them up believing
In the devil's fantasy You must raise them up believing That the truth will set them
free.
If you raise them up believing.
The truth will set them free.
