Brandon Heath - Baby Boy lyrics

I don't know how much you know
With how you came into this world
I was young and unprepared
Your mom herself was just a girl
You were a long, long way from home
There was trembling in her voice
When she looked at me and said
It's time to have this baby boy
This baby boy, yeah

He was pacing round the room
Made a bed for your in hay
'Cause we both knew that very soon
Our whole world was gonna change
He held my hand and whispered "breathe"
Your first cry cut through the noise
Then your eyes looked up at me
Said, "My God, my baby boy"

You're everything we prayed you would be
More promise in your eyes than I have ever seen
You're the prince of peace, our Savior, Lord, and King
Heaven's pride and joy, but you're still our baby boy
Our baby boy

Boy, when I look at you now
A man is looking back at me
I taught you everything I know
But you do more than I could dream
There's so much mercy in your touch
And love that fear could not destroy
We can't keep you to ourselves
Go save the world now baby boy

You're everything we prayed you would be
More promise in your eyes than I have ever seen
You're the prince of peace, our Savior, Lord, and King
Heaven's pride and joy, but you're still our baby boy

The redemption that you bring
More promise than this weary world has ever seen
You're the prince of peace, our Savior, Lord, and King
Heaven's pride and joy, but you're still our baby boy
Our baby boy

So much mercy in your touch
And love that fear could not destroy
We can't keep you to ourselves
Go save the world now baby boy
