Gentle And Strong - Phil Keaggy

Waking up to hear a little boy’s

Voice in the morning

Little footsteps brush across the floor

And you open the door

Just beneath my gaze I see your face

Just like clockwork you reach

Towards my glass of water

Upon the night stand, and carefully

You hand it up to me

I’ll be by your side, father and son

And in time you’ll understand

When you grow up to be a man, Ian

Gentle and strong

Believe in the words, your song

Gentle and strong

Believe in the words, your song

I want to know you, want to show you I care

And I want to lead you, want to be your friend

Gentle and strong

Believe in the words, your song

Gentle and strong

Believe in the words, your song

I want to know you, want to show you I care

And I want to lead you, want to be your friend

I’ll be by your side, father and son

And in time you’ll understand

When you grow up to be a man, Ian

Gentle and strong

Believe in the words, your song

Gentle and strong

Believe in the words, your song

I want to know you, want to show you I care

And I want to lead you, want to be your friend
