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
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
