Words by Joy Jonat and Carolyn Arends Music by Carolyn Arends Our precious little one, hello Hope you don't mind if we watch you grow Today we saw you focus your eyes And look at us with such surprise Could you see we were giving thanks To your Father in heaven
Soon you will learn to touch your nose To giggle whenever we tickle your toes And we can't wait to hear you coo And then you'll talk and when you do We hope you know you can always speak With your Father in heaven
There's a world of wonders Waiting in store just outside our door But the greatest thing that we ever will do Is kneel at your bedside and introduce you To the One who first thought of the wonder of you Your Father in heaven
First you will crawl and then you'll stand We're gonna cheer, we're your biggest fans You'll take a step, and then one more We hope it's not too long before You understand you can always run To your Father in heaven
(Chorus)
You'll learn green is green and blue is blue God's crayon box comes with every hue You'll learn to make angels in the snow To catch a frog and let it go May you know that all good things come From your Father in heaven
We pray that you'll always run To your Father in Heaven
