Alex

The doctors all gathered and told me to fear

They said that your future was dark and unclear

They told me to end it, to just walk away

But I fell to my knees and I started to pray

I refused to accept the diagnosis they gave

I trusted the Lord who is mighty to save

I held onto faith when the shadows were deep

And God gave me a healthy baby to keep

Oh, Alex, you are my gift from above

A healthy baby boy wrapped in His love

So wise and so caring, you lift up my soul

The Lord knew exactly how to make my life whole

They told me to doubt, but I chose to believe

Now you're the sweetest blessing I could ever receive

I look back at the days when you were so small

With Little Bear and Franklin playing down the hall

We’d sit by the screen as the afternoon passed

I thanked the good Lord that those moments would last

Then we made up a card game, just you and me

You dealt me a hand and you named me Hedri

An inside joke that still makes me smile

I've cherished your spirit through every mile

Oh, Alex, you are my gift from above

A healthy baby boy wrapped in His love

So wise and so caring, you lift up my soul

The Lord knew exactly how to make my life whole

They told me to doubt, but I chose to believe

Now you're the sweetest blessing I could ever receive

You grew up so funny, encouraging and bright

Whenever I'm heavy, you make the load light

We sit and watch Friends when the evening is new

You're my very own Chandler, so loyal and true

From that hospital room to the laughter we share

I see God's own grace in the way that you care

Oh, Alex, you are my gift from above

A healthy baby boy wrapped in His love

So wise and so caring, you lift up my soul

The Lord knew exactly how to make my life whole

They told me to doubt, but I chose to believe

Now you're the sweetest blessing I could ever receive

Yes, you're the miracle I kept, my gift from God
