Ben

Piercing autumn wind, a breathless morning call
You were on your way
A restless journey, it's been the longest haul
Still not sure if you could stay

Tiny fingers and hands are clutching my thumbs
As your smile lights up my face
Your quiet song, it's a pleasant hum

I almost never had you
Battered black and blue
Barely pulling through
But you are here with me
In this mystery of life

Now upright and blue-eyed, but no longer blond
So self-assured and strong
A forgiving soul, you're the steady one
And you know where you belong

Your capable hands will carry you on
As you untangle my embrace
Your thunderous voice, a sweet baritone

I almost never had you
Battered black and blue
Barely pulling through
But you are here with me
In this mystery
Divine delivery

Oh, I don't know how the wind will blow
Or how you'll stand in the midst of it all
And I don't know where you will go
Or who you'll call

Oh, I can't tell how the seas will swell
If your ship will hold in the midst of the storm
But I do know that you are loved
You are loved
The greatest mystery of all

And time will move on
All this will be gone
Only one remains the same
Hold on to His love
My precious son

I almost never had you
Battered black and blue
Barely pulling through
But you were here with me
In this mystery of life

I almost never had you
Battered black and blue
Barely pulling through
But you were here with me
In this mystery
Divine delivery

You are loved
