Baby Boy - Brandon Heath

I don’t know how much you know

With how you came into this world

I was young and unprepared

Your mom herself was just a girl

You were a long, long way from home

There was trembling in her voice

When she looked at me and said

It’s time to have this baby boy

This baby boy, yeah

He was pacing round the room

Made a bed for your in hay

'Cause we both knew that very soon

Our whole world was gonna change

You held my hand and whispered «breathe»

Your first cry cut through the noise

Then your eyes looked up at me

Said, «My God, my baby boy»

You’re everything we prayed you would be

More promise in your eyes than I have ever seen

You’re the prince of peace, our Savior, Lord, and King

Heaven’s pride and joy, but you’re still our baby boy

Our baby boy

Boy, when I look at you now

A man is looking back at me

I taught you everything I know

But you do more than I could dream

There’s so much mercy in your touch

And love that fear could not destroy

We can’t keep you to ourselves

Go save the world now baby boy

You’re everything we prayed you would be

More promise in your eyes than I have ever seen

You’re the prince of peace, our Savior, Lord, and King

Heaven’s pride and joy, but you’re still our baby boy

The redemption that you bring

More promise than this weary world has ever seen

You’re the prince of peace, our Savior, Lord, and King

Heaven’s pride and joy, but you’re still our baby boy

Our baby boy

So much mercy in your touch

And love that fear could not destroy

We can’t keep you to ourselves

Go save the world now baby boy
