My little son

In my arms you feel safe and secure

From my shoulders

You can see the world

My little son

But your daddy's feet

Are made of clay

I must pray for strength

From day to day

Even daddies can stumble and fall

So remember these words above all

Your Father knows best

Your Father in Heaven knows best

You are His precious gift

In our care for just a moment

Your Father knows best

Your Father in Heaven knows best

And He'll see you through good times and bad

So look up to your Father

Your Father knows best

My little son

I will teach you to work with your hands

I will show you

All I've learned of life

My little son

But a time will come

When you must go

And the path for you

We just won't know

But our prayers will go with you each day

And the Lord will be lighting your way

Your Father knows best

Your Father in Heaven knows best

You are His precious gift

In our care for just a moment

Your Father knows best

Your Father in Heaven knows best

And He'll see you through good times and bad

So look up to your Father

Your Father knows best

We have named you Jesus

By an angel's command

And our Lord has special plans for you

We don't yet understand

But whatever lies ahead

Wherever you are led

The master of our universe

Holds you in His hand

Your Father knows best

Your Father in Heaven knows best

You are His precious gift

In our care for just a moment

Your Father knows best

Your Father in Heaven knows best

And He'll see you through good times and bad

So look up to your Father

Your Father knows best

So look up to your Father

Your Father knows best
