You'll Always Be My Son
by Cheri Keaggy

Album: Because He First Loved Us

Here I am again, now my boy is 10
As I pray for him each night my heart remembers when
He was very small, now he's grown so tall
Reading books, and running fast and playing ball

My, how time flies
The tears fill my eyes

I'm still praying for you, my boy
I'm proud of all you've done
No matter what this life may bring
You'll always be my son

You're talking at my heart, driving my old car
Call me when you get there, please don't go too far
Soon you're 25, found yourself a wife
God has blessed your union with a little child

My, how time flies
The tears fill my eyes

I'm still praying for you, my boy
I'm proud of who you become
And though you are a daddy now
You'll always be my son

Jesus on the cross, sent to save the lost
Fighting just to catch a breath, the Holy Son of God
Mary on her knees, echoes her Son's plea
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Still she knows why He came
You can almost hear her say

I'm still praying for You, my boy
Hang on, You're almost done
No matter what the people say
You'll always be my son

I'm still praying for You, my boy
The victory's already won
And even though You have to die
You'll always be my son

Let Your kingdom come
Christ, the Holy One
