about

Song for Ira

lyrics

Though I don't really know you yet
You are the son of promises
Not what you have or done for me
Just who you are and what you'll be
Just hold my hand and I will lead
You well beloved and me well pleased
There is nothing you could ever do
To stop me from loving you

Soon as you can understand
I'll teach you to love discipline
Love and integrity make the man
We'll make you a force to be reckoned with
Just hold my hand and I will lead
You well beloved and me well pleased
There is nothing you could ever do
To stop me from loving you

You really are a special one
My only begotten son
Not what you have or done for me
Just who you are and what you'll be
Just hold my hand and I will lead
You well beloved and me well pleased
There is nothing you could ever do
To stop me from loving you
