God blessed me with a son
To carry on my name
But I know the real reason was
To show me why Jesus came
In the middle of the night, if I awake
I will stand and watch him sleeping
Looking down I'll touch his face
Then I think about when he grows older
Hopin' he won't turn around
I must teach him how to love the Lord
So the world can't bring him down
Words cannot express the way I feel about my son
Truly this is God showing me
Why He gave His only one
Chorus:
Only Son (only Son)
How I long to know Your ways
Only One (only One)
What a gift of matchless grace
Now I know why You gave me
A precious son to love
For the sake of Your only one
Now he's grown a little older
Into a man becomes my son
He doesn't listen to his daddy much
He just turned twenty-one
But like his father learned the hard way
He must also learn one day
Until the Lord becomes his guiding light
He will never find his way
Repeat Chorus (x2)
How I love my only son
I can't believe you gave your only Son
Precious one begotten Son
Only One |
