Father and child

I remember the day
the day you were born
Through the gates of Heaven
I could hear the angel's horn
as you came out of the darkness
a world that's always night
And you breathed, and you cried
and you reached for the light
And from that very first day
I've tried to make you understand
that never will I leave you
I will always hold your hand

I watched you die that day
and then I watched you live
and I knew in my heart
there's nothing I wouldn't give
to take you home someday
someday very soon
and I made you a promise
on that cold afternoon
I promised if you fell again
I would always help you stand
and wherever you went
I would always hold your hand

So now here you are, child
so deep in my heart
and I knew this day was coming
from the very start
From when I first held you
and gave you your name
An eternity went by
before you actually came
Well before you were born
this moment was planned
that I, your Lord and Savior
would be holding your hand
