Story Behind The Song

My son's birth, my heart's prayer, my life's creed.

Song Description

Song written for my son at his birth, a sort of teaching song, to always trust in Him. Then, as I was a pastor, it became a song to commend my flock to Jesus Christ first and always as being "faithful and true."

Lyrics

I remember the day
When I first held you
I remember the way
I felt the need to tell you
Some of the things that
I?ve learned along the way
That could keep you going strong
So you?ll avoid the mistakes that I?ve made
Embrace the right, reject the wrong

As I?m watching you grow
I see my life lived through you
And now more than you know
My heart is longing to teach you
But I can?t tell you that I?ll always be there
Life is so unsure
But this I know that if we trust in the Lord
I know our Love will endure
Eternity through, because

He?s faithful and true
And He?ll take care of you
Even if I am away
Jesus will always stay
He?s faithful and true

There will come forces in your life, my child
That will try you and drive you away
From the teachings that I?ve tried to impart
Do not fret, do not sway,
For in all that you do

He?s faithful and true
And He?ll take care of you
Even if you fall away
Jesus will always stay

As you travel along
You?ll need some food for the journey
So I give you this song
Let it nourish and guide you
So you?ll never leave the way
That is narrow and true
Faithfully follow the Lord in His Word
In all that you do, and be reminded, Son,

He?s faithful and true
And He?ll take care of you
Even if all fall away
Jesus will always stay
He?s faithful and true
