In all of my life, I'd never guess You would be one of my best gifts Those little hands, those tiny feet Beautiful eyes staring back at me I never imagined all, that you would do to me Grow up tall and strong, learn to run with all of your heart Stand on the promises of God, don't forget where you came from Take the risk, Scrape your knees Never give up on your dreams Even when you fail Lift that chin And keep your eyes fixed On Jesus Love hard but don't hurry, to break that precious heart My darling when you find yourself in a mess and you try to impress No one, just remember who you are and the world you're made for Grow up tall and strong, learn to run with all of your heart Stand on the promises of God, don't forget where you came from Take the risk, Scrape your knees Never give up on your dreams I hope you dance in the rain You sing louder than all of your pain Work hard, keep your word, don't settle for anything less than you're worth Know this truth Your daddy and I love you And we pray that you Grow up tall and strong, run the race with all of your heart Stand on the promises of God, always remember where you came from Take the risk, Scrape your knees Never give up on your dreams Even when you fail Lift that chin Keep your eyes fixed On Jesus
