John

From the moment you took your first breath in this world

A beautiful purpose began to unfold

You brought me such laughter, you brought me such grace

And chased all the shadows away from my space

I watch you right now, standing steady and free

Growing into the person you were meant to be

With wisdom and faith that you hold in your soul

Watching you, John, makes my spirit feel whole

You are the greatest joy in my life

Making my journey so beautiful and bright

I lift up my hands and I thank God above

For a son who is walking so deep in His love

I am endlessly proud of the man that you are

I love you, my son, with all of my heart

You carry a kindness that's easy to see

With proactive care that you pour out on me

Before I can ask, you are already there

With a responsible spirit and burdens to share

Respectful and grounded, with empathy true

I see the Lord's goodness reflecting in you

You give to the people who cross on your path

With a big heart of gold and a welcoming laugh

You are the greatest joy in my life

Making my journey so beautiful and bright

I lift up my hands and I thank God above

For a son who is walking so deep in His love

I am endlessly proud of the man that you are

I love you, my son, with all of my heart

With pure integrity guiding your way

You honor the Father day after day

You make my life brighter just being around

The greatest of blessings that I've ever found

Keep loving the Lord, keep on standing so tall

I'll be right here cheering you on through it all

Cause you are the greatest joy in my life

Making my journey so beautiful and bright

I lift up my voice and I thank God above

For a son who is walking so deep in His love

I am endlessly proud of the man that you are

I love you, John, with all of my heart

Yes, I love you, John, with all of my heart
