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
