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 own

But 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 hear

Chorus: 
Any way the wind blows 
Don't you think that God knows 
We must pass the flame 
We must pass the flame
We are the light in a darkened world 
We are the fire on the arrow
We must pass the flame 
We must pass the flame

She was a portrait of innocence 
I took her by the hand 
For better or for worse we vowed 
that with Jesus we'd stand
We would instill upon our children 
that this world is not our home 
We would tell them that our 
treasure is the promise that we own

But 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 them Yours to keep 
So let me whisper in your ear
There is something you must hear

Chorus

And Lord, help us teach Your children well 
And turn embers in to fire 
Make Your love their soul desire

The 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 wife
You know we'll be together in 
an everlasting life."

Then I said, "Dad, I want to hold 
you a little while
Let me adore you while you sleep." 
Thank You, Lord, for such an angel
Take him home to keep 
And then he whispered in my ear 
There is something you must hear

Chorus
