A word to my son

This is a song I wrote. I need to work out some kinks before I record it, but I wanted to share the lyrics with yall. I was hesitant about sharing this because I have sung it to a few people and I don’t know if they understood what it meant. It means many things to me because it is a record of what God has been showing me through recent experiences. I am posting it now for yall because of its meaning to me and because I think it will mean a lot to the guys who read it.

Verse 1

Welcome to this life young man,
Look across this baron land,
Watch me now, follow my plan,
And I’ll lead you to the promised land.

Chorus

I am the vine you are the branch,
fisher of men now is your chance,
strong arms and hands to work the land,
hear me now the Great I AM.

Verse 2

Listen closely son of mine,
Follow me heart, soul and mind,
Wisdom here in bounty flows,
Ask me and it shall be yours.

Chorus

Verse 3

Be strong my son prepare to fight,
I shall be your guiding light,
Take my word, the sword of truth,
And with it you shall be renewed.

Chorus

Verse 4

Come near my son, come meet your wife,
My princess and your love for life,
Treasure her and love her well,
She’s beautiful as time will tell

Chorus

Verse 5

Behold my son this is your life,
Keep Me as your guiding light,
Wisdom holds forever true,
Never forget that I love you.

Chorus

    Amen, brother. I like this, very much…
    Do you have a recording of it?

      Sadly, no. I would very much like to get recordings of all these songs, but I don’t have the equipment (or the time right now :P ) to do so.
      My apologies. :(

    This is beautiful! Great job!
    Even though I couldn’t hear any music, the lyrics themselves gave me a tune in my head…very well written!
    God Bless!
