My Baby Boy

Verse 1)

I remember the first time I held you tight,

So small, so perfect, purest light.

Kissed your forehead, whispered your name,

And my heart ain’t never been the same.

(Verse 2)

Your little hands, your tiny feet,

The kind of love that knocks you to your knees.

Your sister laughed, your daddy cried,

Lord, I felt heaven open wide.

(Chorus)

Oh, my baby boy, my pride, my joy,

You burned so bright, my little boy.

Now I walk these miles alone,

Tryin’ to find my way back home.

Oh, my baby boy, though you’re gone,

Your mama’s love keeps rollin’ on.

(Verse 3)

You had rhythm before you could speak,

Found the Lord in every beat.

Drummed your heart out, wild and true,

Son, the Holy Ghost was playin’ through you.

(Bridge)

You played for Jesus till your final breath,

Then you closed your eyes and conquered death.

That mornin’ came, and my world went still,

But I whispered, “Lord, I trust Your will.”

(Chorus)

Oh, my baby boy, my pride, my joy,

You burned so bright, my little boy.

Now I walk these miles alone,

Tryin’ to find my way back home.

Oh, my baby boy, though you’re gone,

Your mama’s love keeps rollin’ on.

(Verse 4)

God, You held me through the rain,

Through every tear, through all this pain.

You gave me laughter, then took my song,

But I still praise You all night long.

(Verse 5 )

Bring peace to Isaac, heal his pain,

Give Andrina joy and peace again,

For Tirso’s heart, Lord, set him free,

And pour Your mercy down on me.

(Final Chorus)

Oh, my baby boy, my shining star,

I feel your spirit where the blue notes are.

I miss your touch, your scent, your grace,

But I’ll see you in that holy place.

Oh, my David, my heart, my joy,

Forever my baby boy.

(Outro – slow fade, soft guitar bend)

Yeah… my David…

Forever my baby boy…

Mmm, my baby boy…
