Song For Josiah

Oh my sonyou were born in a world that hates you
And I swear I will never forsake you.
But there was a father centuries ago
Who watched his beloved son die. ohdie.
Oh my sonI am weak and IЂ™m trembling
For the lord I am always remembering.
Oh what a strong shepherd holds you in his arms.
HeЂ™ll break you and make you his own.
And then take you home.
Well if I could I would protect you from what you will see.
This world will promise love and beautybut it lied to me.
And I will show youif you will listen.
And I will promiseto listen too.
Oh yesthere are some who love the liesthey will kill you if they can.
Though you speak the truth in lovethey will hate you like the man
Jesusalthough he was godhe allowed himself broken for you.
Well if I could I would protect you from what you will see.
The world might seem so alivebut itЂ™s dead to me.
And I will teach youif you will hear me.
And I will promiseto hear you too. yes I do.
Oh my sonI am only your brother.
For a sisterGod gave me your mother.
But just like a motherso long agohad to watch her beloved son die
Oh sonwe will tryto let you go.
