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
ChorusYou 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
Verse 2You 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
ChorusYou 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
BridgeWith 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
Final ChorusCause 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
