Jr Emmanuel Matthew

I still remember the day you came to be

The miracle of life when God gave us all three

Carrying each of you safely in my arms

A love so overwhelming, keeping you from harm

It filled up my heart with a love so deep and true

My life became a joy the moment I held you

Jr Emmanuel Matthew, a blessing from above

The greatest gift God gave us, wrapped in His perfect love

You’re faithful and you’re funny, a wonder to behold

You make your mom and I the happiest of souls

We raise our hands to heaven, so grateful for our boys

Thanking the Lord for filling up our lives with joy

Watching you grow was the greatest feeling known

Seeing the beautiful seeds that God has sown

Swinging at baseballs and shooting on the court

Your mother and I cheering every single sport

Then driving on the highway, playing "I Spy" in the car

Singing out loud to every song, no matter where we are

Jr Emmanuel Matthew, a blessing from above

The greatest gift God gave us, wrapped in His perfect love

You’re faithful and you’re funny, a wonder to behold

You make your mom and I the happiest of souls

We raise our hands to heaven, so grateful for our boys

Thanking the Lord for filling up our lives with joy

But the greatest memory that I will ever hold

Is deeper than the games or the stories we have told

It's standing in the sanctuary, instruments in hand

Playing as a family, a worshiping band

Lifting up the music for His honor and His praise

I will cherish that sweet moment for the rest of all my days

So caring and so talented, with a spirit shining bright

You walk in joy, Emmanuel, and carry heaven's light

I'm grateful for my three boys, the loves of all our lives

God has truly blessed us, and my spirit testifies

Jr Emmanuel Matthew, a blessing from above

The greatest gift God gave us, wrapped in His perfect love

You’re faithful and you’re funny, a wonder to behold

You make your mom and I the happiest of souls

We raise our hands to heaven, so grateful for our boys

Thanking the Lord for filling up our lives with joy

Yes, we thank the Lord for giving us this joy
