Our list of Gospel songs focused on mothers has been popular. Dozens of artists have written material devoted to our mothers. With Father’s Day fast approaching, the obvious question is, 'where is the list of songs devoted to fathers'?

It’s a valid question. We’ve done a bit of looking, and it seems that there just aren’t that many out there! Songs relating to God as Father abound, of course. But it’s our earthly dads that seem to be missing the positive tributes.

Is it because fathers simply aren’t as endearing as mothers? Maybe their characteristics aren’t as easily translated into musical verse? Maybe it’s all that and more.

Immediately below is the admittedly tiny (but growing) list of what we’ve come up with so far. We hope it grows as we take your suggestions and advice.
