Father's Day Special: "Slip Sliding Away."

[Songbird of Jesus]

Slip Sliding Away
(A revision of the original by: Simon and Garfunkel.)

Slip sliding away.. they're slip sliding away........
You know the nearer our destination, the more they're slip sliding away.

Whoah and I know a Man. He came to my hometown.
He wore His passion for His children upon His thorny crown.
He said, "Dear children, don't live in fear."
My love for you’s so overpowering, I will never disappear."

Slip sliding away.. they're slip sliding away........
You know the nearer our destination, the more they're slip sliding away.

I know a woman, who became His wife.
These are the very words she uses to describe our life.
She said, "A good day ain’t got no rain."
She said, "A bad day is when we lie in the bed,
And forget to praise His holy name."

Slip sliding away.. they're slip sliding away........
You know the nearer our destination, the more they're slip sliding away.

And I know a Father who had a Son.
Who lived to tell the world the reasons for the things He’d done.
He walked a long way, just to explain.........
Why He died for us upon the cross,
Before He rose and headed for home again.

Slip sliding away.. they're slip sliding away........
You know the nearer our destination, the more they're slip sliding away.

Whoah God only knows. God makes His plan.
His information is available to the mortal man.
We’re workin’ our jobs. Collect our pay.
But some who think they're walking His gold Highway
Are only slip sliding away..............

Slip sliding away.. they're slip sliding away........
You know the nearer our destination, the more they're slip sliding away.

Slip sliding away.. they're slip sliding away........
You know the nearer our destination, the more they're slip sliding away.
