My sister Kristen shared this song with me a while ago and it has been where our heads have been for quite a while so I thought I would share the lyrics and a youtube link. It is called "He's My Son" by Mark Schultz (a link is on the sidebar of the blog)
I'm down on my knees again tonight I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right See there is a boy that needs Your help I've done all that I can do myself His mother is tired I'm sure You can understand Each night as he sleeps She goes in to hold his hand And she tries not to cry As the tears fill her eyes
CHORUS: Can You hear me? Am I getting through tonight? Can You see him? Can You make him feel all right? If You can hear me Let me take his place somehow See, he's not just anyone He's my son
Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep I dream of the boy he'd like to be I try to be strong and see him through But God who he needs right now is You Let him grow old Live life without this fear What would I be Living without him here He's so tired and he's scared Let him know that You're there
CHORUS
Can You hear me? Can You see him? Please don't leave him He's my son

Riley and I just prayed for strength for Caden and wisdom for the doctors. I just have this sense that God is so good. Thank you for the encouraging message today. That song is amazing.

I think that song was written especially with you in mind...
ReplyDeleteAll my positive energy and good wishes are with your family today....
We are praying for Caden and each of you. Thank you for sharing the words to that song and taking your time to share with us your thoughts. Even though we have never seen Caden in person, we feel we know him. God hears your prayers. ---Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait on the Lord--Psalms 27:14.
