<a href="/users/779/jenn/">@Jenn</a> - Sorry for your loss! I pray for strength, and courage to you and your family.
You request a country song for your father. I don't know too much about country music, but I found a song written by Luther Vandross to his father when he died.
DANCE WITH MY FATHER
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again
Ooh, ooh
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father
again
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

Thank you all so much for the suggestions. My father has not passed away yet. He has termnal lung cancer and we are planning the funeral. He does not have long, but we are enjoying every minute with him. He is truly one of the good guys. Last of his kind... rough, tough, direct, hard working, and real.

I hate to say it, but judging by when this question was first asked, that person must've already had their service and burial. Bless their soul Jenn, whoever, it was. It was nice of you to try to find a really neat song in the first place and am glad you got so many responses. RIP

Hi Jenn
I don't know any such song and I see mine is the only answer. If you get an answer you are looking for then good luck if not I used the following prayer for my mother. I hope you like it.
'' Oh beautiful flower of carmel, most fruitful vine, splendour of heaven, holy and singular, who brought forth the son of God, still ever remaining a pure virgin, assist me with this my nessesity, lift my soul into heaven. Oh star of the sea and land help and protect me. Show me that thou art my mother. Mother and ornament of carmel pray for us, Virgin flower of carmel, pray for us, Patroness of all who wear the scapular pray for us, St Joseph chast spouse of Mary pray for us, friend to the sacred heart pray for us, Patron of departing souls pray for us. Amen''

Ma'am, your prayer is both beautiful and with much merit. The song goes like this: Sometimes I get lost, sometimes I get oh so scared
When these wires get crossed, somehow I end up nowhere
But there is where I turn from what I sought to gain
And there is where I learn that I've only to call upon His name.
And the rest: Chorus: It's in my Father's hands and I have no fear
There's no point making plans when His hands can steer
Why should I so small and frail, carry life's demands
When He can see where I might fail and where I might stand
It's in my Father's hands.
Sometimes we go wrong, sometimes we get one track minds
Thinking all alone that we can handle life just fine
But there is where we turn and find it's not to gain
And there is where we learn that we've only to call upon His name.
It has been done by several artists, understandably.
Be well.
Mary was a special young lady who said "Yes" to God and bore His Son.
After that, as a loving wife she would have done as scripture guides wives to do and been one with her husband in loving union and bore further children - and of course no longer a virgin, but pure in heart. Jesus is always praying for us and we can pray to the Father through Jesus. He always hears our prayers if we have received Him as our Saviour. The best thing we can do for our loved ones before they meet their creator, is to lead them to express their faith in Jesus and receive from Him forgiveness for their sins.
We can then be sure of their eternal salvation and place with Him in heaven. Not because we are perfect, but because when God looks at us, with our sins forgiven - He sees Jesus. Isn't that great? What better gift could we have! xx Hope you find a song or hymn that you like. We had "I just called to say I love you." God bless your dad xx
