About the Song
Our Baby Dedication Service was coming up (we do 2 a year at BCC) and the few songs that worked well for the service were getting well worn.  I thought I'd try to write my own song for it.  With a good 5 years of fatherhood behind me, I felt qualified to write about children and dedicating them to the Lord so I went to it.  This is the song that resulted.

While writing the song I relied on God's inspiration and drew from my experience as a father.  Early in marriage, my wife and I faced infertility.  God guided us through 2 wonderful adoption experiences.  Then in February of 2009 God gave us wonderful gift of a natural conception.  Our third child was born on my 30th birthday.  Needless to say, it was an answer to prayer.  We see our children as gifts that God has entrusted to us to care for and raise to be obedient servants of Jesus.

I have found much joy and purpose in singing this song to our newborn.  I hold him and sing this to him.  What a wonderful prayer God has given me to speak into my children's lives.  I pray this song will bless many more parents out there who realize the wonderful and scary task they have as a parent.
