Pass the Flame
Three a.m. - a baby boy; a new life began I held him in my arms and knew one day he'd be a man And soon I'd have to tell him that this world is not our home We must give our lives to Jesus; we are not our ownBut for now just let me hold you, a little while Let me adore you while you sleep Thank You, Lord, for such an angel Make him Yours to keep And then I whispered in his ear There is something you must hearChorus: Any way the wind blows Don't you think that God knows We must pass the flame We must pass the flameWe are the light in a darkened world We are the fire on the arrowWe must pass the flame We must pass the flameSongtexteShe was a portrait of innocence I took her by the hand For better or for worse we vowed that with Jesus we'd standWe would instill upon our children that this world is not our home We would tell them that our treasure is the promise that we ownBut for now just let me hold you a little while Let me adore you while you sleep Thank You, Lord, for such an angelMake them Yours to keep So let me whisper in your earThere is something you must hearChorusAnd Lord, help us teach Your children well And turn embers in to fire Make Your love their soul desireThe doctors came into the room; the news was not too good I said,"Daddy, if I could take your place, you know that I would." He said, "Son, please don't worry go and be there for your wifeYou know we'll be together in an everlasting life."Then I said, "Dad, I want to hold you a little whileLet me adore you while you sleep." Thank You, Lord, for such an angelTake him home to keep And then he whispered in my ear There is something you must hearChorusChorus Aus Songtexte Mania
