Lord You placed him in my hands
A life so small a sacred plan
Not just my son but Yours before
A gift to love a heart to restore
Lead me well guide my steps
Teach me how to give my best
Not just in words but all I do
Let him see Your love in me shine through
Let my hands be strong yet kind
Patient steady full of time
When he stumbles when he falls
Let my arms reflect You most of all
Lead me well guide my steps
Teach me how to give my best
Not just in words but all I do
Let him see Your love in me shine through
Through every season through every test
Help me choose the path that's blessed
Not my wisdom not my way
But Yours alone Lord day by day
One day soon he'll walk alone
His own decisions a life his own
But if he knows You if he stands true
Then I have done what You called me to
Lead me well guide my steps
Teach me how to give my best
Not just in words but all I do
Let him see Your love in me shine through
Lord I know I'll never be perfect
But in Your grace I'll stand
Make me the father he needs to see
A reflection of Your hands
