"According to the National Fatherhood Institute, 40% of the children in the United States have not seen their father for a year! In the last 15 years "fatherless" children jumped from 10.2 million to 15.6 million. 70% of juveniles in detention centers and reformatories are children of fatherless homes. Statistics indicate that "violent criminals" are overwhelmingly males who grew up without a father’s leadership. This includes 60% of America’s rapists, 72% of adolescent murders, and 70% of long-term prison inmates. There are many homes where a father is there, but that is all. They want all their needs fulfilled, but do not want to take the leadership that God intended. Instead children grow up listening to their parents fight, cuss, yell, and scream." Check out "Father," the newest song from Dayspring. "Father" is a song about a young girl who suddenly finds herself fatherless and is unable to understand why her daddy went away. It is tragic that her story mimics so many others in our society today but the hope that she finds is available to everyone who is lonely or discouraged. There is a Father that we can all count on. A Father who will always be there!
