about

This song is for my youngest, the most magical

lyrics

The most magical day of my life
Is when I saw you in the manger
The most magical day of my life
You slept on your mom

The most magical day of my life
Is when you came into it
You were a miracle
The moment of your birth

When Mary came home
She cried as she told me
A story I found
Hard to believe

But I loved your mom
With everything I had
So we became
One family

You're the son of another
Someone I don't know
But I'll always know him through You
You're the Son of God
But you're my son too
And I'm glad I got to be a dad to you

I remember you
When you first came to my work
You helped me build a door

I taught you everything that I knew
And you showed me who you were

You spoke to everyone
We met on the street
The rich, the Gentile, the poor

You saw their hearts
And spoke the truth
With a love so gentle and pure

I fed you your very first meal
I mashed up chickpeas with oil

You spat it up all over my clothes
We laughed until we cried
We laughed until we cried

When they nailed my boy to a cross
The ground shook beneath my feet
But I wasn't thinking of your awesome power
But the side of you only I got to see

You're the Son of God
You're the Son of God
You're the Son of God
But you're my son too
