Safe and Sound
In a room up there
At the top of the stairs
Is the precious gift you gave me
He's his father's joy
And my baby boy
Though he doesn't look it lately
He can't wait to be grown
To come into his own
To do what he wants to do
But to make him complete
As my heart skips a beat
May I ask one thing of you?
Keep him safe and sound
Keep him safe and holy
When I'm not around
He may get some breaks
He will make mistakes
Chances are that he might stumble
But your grace is sweet
Help him land on his feet
Keep him thankful
Keep him humble
All the things we've said
Bible verses we've read
Have taught him what to do
If our prayers are heard
Like it says in your word
May I ask one thing of you?
Keep him safe and sound
Keep him safe and holy
When I'm not around
What a mystical creation
You've turned our lives into
From the love that we've been given
We're livin'
To give it right back to you
When he's fully grown
And his seeds have been sewn
And he's born a child or two
Let him not forget
All his needs will be met
If he leaves it all up to you
Then he'll pass this song to his very own son
'Cause he'll know how much you care
And on one last note
May they never lack hope
Knowing you'll always be there
Keep him safe and sound
Keep him safe and holy
When I'm not around
When I'm not around
When I'm not around
At the top of the stairs
Is the precious gift you gave me
He's his father's joy
And my baby boy
Though he doesn't look it lately
He can't wait to be grown
To come into his own
To do what he wants to do
But to make him complete
As my heart skips a beat
May I ask one thing of you?
Keep him safe and sound
Keep him safe and holy
When I'm not around
He may get some breaks
He will make mistakes
Chances are that he might stumble
But your grace is sweet
Help him land on his feet
Keep him thankful
Keep him humble
All the things we've said
Bible verses we've read
Have taught him what to do
If our prayers are heard
Like it says in your word
May I ask one thing of you?
Keep him safe and sound
Keep him safe and holy
When I'm not around
What a mystical creation
You've turned our lives into
From the love that we've been given
We're livin'
To give it right back to you
When he's fully grown
And his seeds have been sewn
And he's born a child or two
Let him not forget
All his needs will be met
If he leaves it all up to you
Then he'll pass this song to his very own son
'Cause he'll know how much you care
And on one last note
May they never lack hope
Knowing you'll always be there
Keep him safe and sound
Keep him safe and holy
When I'm not around
When I'm not around
When I'm not around
