Here I am again

Now my boy is 10

As I pray for him each night my heart remembers when

He was very small

Now he's grown so tall

Reading books, and running fast and playing ball

My, how time flies

The tears fill my eyes

I'm still praying for you, my boy

I'm proud of all you've done

No matter what this life may bring

You'll always be my son

You're talking at my heart

Driving my old car

Call me when you get there, please don't go too far

Soon you're 25

found yourself a wife

God has blessed your union with a little child

My, how time flies

The tears fill my eyes

I'm still praying for you, my boy

I'm proud of who you become

And though you are a daddy now

You'll always be my son

Jesus on the cross

Sent to save the lost

Fighting just to catch a breath, the Holy One of God

Mary on her knees

Echoes her son's pleas

My God, my God why have you forsaken me?

Still she knows why He came

You can almost hear her say

I'm still praying for you my boy

Hang on, You're almost done

No matter what the people say

You'll always be my son

I'm still praying for You my boy

The victory's already won

And even though You have to die

You'll always be my son

Let Your kingdom come

Christ, the Holy One
