[Intro] Alright kids You're probably not gonna like this one But you need to hear it anyway And parents, don't skip this one You're listening too [Verse 1] The Bible says to honor Your father and your mother Listen when they teach you And love one another When they tell you "no" Don't always ask them why Sometimes obedience means You don't get to decide They've been given you to care for To teach you right from wrong And even when you don't like it They're trying to make you strong You may not understand it You may think they don't know But honoring your parents Is part of how you grow [Chorus] Honor your father and mother That's what God's Word says Listen, learn, obey them And respect the words they say You don't have to like every answer You don't have to understand But you can choose to honor them And trust God's greater plan [Verse 2] Now kids, here's something important You need to understand Your parents aren't your enemies They're holding your little hand They'll make mistakes sometimes Because they're human too So give them grace and remember God gave them care of you But parents, now it's your turn You need to listen close God gave you these children They're not yours to control Don't provoke them to anger Don't crush their little hearts Teach them God's ways with patience And lead them from the start [Chorus] Honor your father and mother That's what God's Word says Listen, learn, obey them And respect the words they say You don't have to like every answer You don't have to understand But you can choose to honor them And trust God's greater plan [Bridge] Parents, raise them in the way That they should go Teach them God's Word And let His truth be what they know Don't just tell them what is right Show them how to live Children learn from what you do Not only what you give Kids, obey your parents As you follow Christ Parents, lead your children With patience, truth, and light God gave you both a calling God gave you both a part Honor isn't just a word It's living from the heart [Final Chorus] Honor your father and mother And parents, lead them well Build your home around the truth And give them faith to tell Kids, you don't have to like it Every time they make a call Parents, you don't have to be perfect Just keep pointing them to God [Outro] Kids, honor your father and mother Parents, raise your children right Both of you keep following Jesus And let Him lead your lives
