Song For My Children

(album: Who Knew It Would Be So Hard To Be Myself - 2018)

I swear sometimes I miss you
Like I'm already gone
Your little laugh, the sunset on your face
I hope I'm years and years from leaving
A good ways 'til goodbye
There's things I need to tell you just in case

May your life be long
Your friendships deep
May your heart be kind and true
I pray you know the peace of God
And how dearly I love you

I thought that I was living
Until you came along
Now all of you are all a part of me
Every breath you take, a blessing
Every smile a gift to me
Every day with you is twice as sweet

May your life be long
Your friendships deep
May your heart be kind and true
I pray you know the peace of God
And how dearly I love you

Someday you may need forgive me
For the things that I've done wrong
You can blame me for the things I've handed down
But I beg you see my brokenness
Is how the light got in
Amazing grace, oh how sweet the sound

May your life be long
Your friendships deep
May your heart be kind and true
I pray you know the peace of God
And how dearly I love you
