Story Behind The Song

My 13 year old son and the changing relationship of a father and a son through the years.

Song Description

A Father longs to make a connection with his son. As he prays to God he realizes the sacrifice God made when He sent His Son to die for him.

Lyrics

If I promise I won't say a word, would you talk to me? Son, I promise just to listen this time. Will you open up to me for a while? Because I'm tired of hearing my own voice, but I really don't know where to start. Just believe in me son when I tell you, "you're forever in your father's heart".

From the moment I saw your face, I felt a new kind of love - so intense, From the moment I held you in my arms I felt I knew what God must have meant. When He said that He'd love me forever....unconditionally. And since that day you've always been forever in your father's heart.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't give thankss for the love that I see in your eyes. And like Our Father who art in Heaven, I'm waiting here with open arms. Because no matter how strong we think we're standing, He'll be there to catch us when we fall. We're forever in Our Father's heart.

Lord from one father to another I send You this prayer with all the love that I have in my heart. And I know that You won't let me down, because You always finish what You start. I know You've loved me since before I was bon - I think I know what You mean. Please help me teach him to remember the love that lasts forever .......forever is in Your heart.

And if this love for my own son gives me the smallest sense of the love You have for me, Lord it brings me to me knees when I realize the gift of giving Your Son up for me. We're forever in our Father's heart.

Oh please teach me to remember the love that lasts forever......is just a prayer away inside my heart.
