Album: Steve Camp Collection
You came into our home one Spring
A helpless bundle of joy
Oh, the innocence a young one brings
Love employs
There's a tenderness in your heart
Your mother's sweetness in your soul
And the fire from your father
To burn against the cold.
The first time you called me Daddy
My heart leaped through the sky
And I was struck by the reality
Of what lay before my eyes
Oh Lord, i cried! I wanna be
(Chorus)
Shade for the children
A shelter from the storm
To be a place where they can grow
In the ways of the Lord
To train up my child to live
A pure and Godly life
Through the struggles and fears
Dreams and tears of every day
To be shade for the children.
Unless the Lord builds the house
We labor in vain
Oh, it's good to be under construction
Under His name
Like mighty warriors, our quiver
Is full of them
Like an arrow they will go where
We have never been
As for me and my house, we'll serve
The Lord each day
We'll draw our strength from Him
As we make our way
Oh Lord we pray let us be….
(chorus)
Shade for the children
A shelter from the storm
To be a place where they can grow
In the ways of the Lord
To train up my child to live
A pure and Godly life
Through the struggles and fears
Dreams and tears of every day
To be shade for the children.
And if you ever stray
Know that we have prayed
The Lord would bring you home
And with every step you take
You'll someday discover
You were never alone
And when you have grown
I pray you'll be….
(chorus)
Shade for the children
A shelter from the storm
To be a place where they can grow
In the ways of the Lord
To train up my child to live
A pure and Godly life
Through the struggles and fears
Dreams and tears of every day
To be shade for the children.
