I AM
Because of you,
and wake each day
because of you. I watch you play
and my Way is free to travel miles
because of you I fake bright smiles
for you by this river I plant a home,
for you I will never roam.
I grab your hand to help you stand
making me a man
because of you
In
this world I fight what's wrong to make it right
or choose to walk away for peace,
take each breath, sleep each night,
because of you.
I trust in God
knowing Love endures
to lift you up above the fray
is all I can do to make your way
easier than mine has been.
I want your heart to never feel the pain
I want your fields to be blessed with rain
I want the moon to light your nights
and each day’s sun to hug you tight
The stars we count and the dreams we share
will be forever. Know I'm there
each time you smile and think of me.
Just say my name and you will never be alone.
The earth is yours I claim for you
and will keep my promise to follow Christ
so you my children will see what's right
to witness in this world of strife
that God is mighty and gave you life
so I would know His word is true
He kept the promise I make to you
to love until the end of time
Because in your eyes I see mine
I
want you too to walk this place
with security, in Grace to claim your stake
new and innocent each day you wake
conquering what you need to take.
Defiantly I ward off the depths of woe
and carry on with jubilant glee
strength I gain because of you
so you won’t have to fight any foe
because of me.
-- To my
son and daughter --
