[Verse 1]
You held my hand in the waiting room
While the world turned soft around your shoes
We heard one little heartbeat through
And I knew God was in the room
Your eyes said more than words could say
Hope and fear in the same slow sway
Now there's a tiny life on the way
And I thank the Lord for this day
[Pre-Chorus]
Teach me how to love like You
Steady, kind, and true
If I shake, if I fall
Be the One who holds us all
[Chorus]
God, keep us close tonight
Make this home your light
My wife, my child, my life
I’m learning how to be a father
(learning how to be a father)
God, lead my hands with grace
In this tiny holy place
When the fear comes close, I’ll say
You are here, You are here
(You are here, You are here)
[Verse 2]
I wanna be the safe strong wall
When the crying starts and the hours crawl
I wanna answer when you call
With a gentle heart and all
And if the road gets hard someday
If I lose my words, if I lose my way
I’ll still pray, and I’ll still stay
With Your mercy lighting the gray
[Pre-Chorus]
Teach me how to love like You
Steady, kind, and true
If I shake, if I fall
Be the One who holds us all
[Chorus]
God, keep us close tonight
Make this home your light
My wife, my child, my life
I’m learning how to be a father
(learning how to be a father)
God, lead my hands with grace
In this tiny holy place
When the fear comes close, I’ll say
You are here, You are here
(You are here, You are here)
[Bridge]
Bless the breath inside this room
Bless the tiny kicks, the coming soon
Bless my wife and all she bears
Bless the prayers hung in the air
Make me patient, make me bold
Make my rough edges soft and gold
I was made to guard this flame
And carry Your beautiful name
[Chorus]
God, keep us close tonight
Make this home your light
My wife, my child, my life
I’m learning how to be a father
(learning how to be a father)
God, lead my hands with grace
In this tiny holy place
When the fear comes close, I’ll say
You are here, You are here
(You are here, You are here)
