He's My Son - sung by Kevin Snyder

This is one of the most powerful songs ever written; it's about a mother praying to God about saving her son's life. This is a recording of me singing and playing piano at my church. The lyrics are below:

I'm down on my knees again tonight
I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right
See there is a boy that needs Your help
I've done all that I can do myself
His mother is tired
I'm sure You can understand
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand
And she tries not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes

CHORUS:
Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See, he's not just anyone
He's my son

Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep
I dream of the boy he'd like to be
I try to be strong and see him through
But God who he needs right now is You
Let him grow old
Live life without this fear
What would I be
Living without him here
He's so tired and he's scared
Let him know that You're there

CHORUS

Can You hear me?
Can You see him?
Please don't leave him
He's my son

This song is about Mark's good friend, who had a son who was diagnosed with lukeimia at the age 14. So Mark Shultz wrote a song about the pain, suffering, faith, and the view of what his friend may be feeling. But in all perspectives, it can be known for other things in our lives. Such a beautiful and moving song this is though. God is wonderful and is always holding us safely in His arms. He will never us, nor forsake us. So beautiful . .
