Baby Boy

I don't know how much you know Of how you came into this world I was young and unprepared Your mom herself was just a girl We 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 He was pacing around the room Made a bed for you in hay 'Cause we both knew that very soon Our whole world was gonna change He held my hand and whispered "breathe" Your first cry cut through the noise Then your eyes looked up at me I 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'll 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
