Maxten

I watch the way you look at the world

There is so much kindness in the things that you do

You've got a mind that is quick and bright

And a sense of humor shining through

Maxten, every single day I see

The beautiful soul you're growing to be

May the Lord bless you and keep you

Make His face shine upon you

And be gracious to you all of your days

May the Lord bless you and keep you

Make His face turn towards you

And give you peace in all of your ways

I sit you down to show you the ropes

Thinking I'm the one to guide you along

But then you share what is on your mind

And I realize where I belong

I am supposed to be the one who leads

But sometimes, Maxten, you're teaching me

May the Lord bless you and keep you

Make His face shine upon you

And be gracious to you all of your days

May the Lord bless you and keep you

Make His face turn towards you

And give you peace in all of your ways

You make me laugh with the words that you say

You carry such a gentle heart every day

I fold my hands and I say this prayer

To cover your footsteps everywhere

May the Lord bless you and keep you

Make His face shine upon you

And be gracious to you all of your days

May the Lord bless you and keep you

Make His face turn towards you

And give you peace in all of your ways

Give you peace, Maxten, in all of your ways
