You
Can Depend
(Bryce Fox & Beth Fox)
Your Mommy and Daddy planned and prayed
For the day you would arrive.
By fixing your room and buying you toys
We were ready to share our lives.
With your first little cry, you announced your birth
To a waiting room of love,
Not knowing you’d soon face a crazy world
Only Jesus can save you from.
All that we can do is offer this gift to you.
(Chorus)
You can depend on Mommy and Daddy.
We love each other, we are family.
Together we'll depend on Jesus to help us through.
We pray as you grow, that you’ll know
Jesus is depending on you.
Your little legs wobble as you try to stand,
Still needing to hold our hands.
But soon you will walk and someday you'll run
On your journey to become a man (or woman).
As your parents we'll lead,
Then we'll walk by your side,
Eventually watching you leave,
Guarding your steps down the pathway of life,
Protecting you down on our knees.
As a little child you learn to depend
On Mommy and Daddy each day.
And as you grow older you'll learn to depend
On Jesus to show you the way.
But soon you'll be called to take up your cross
With Jesus depending on you
To offer your life as a sacrifice
That somehow you may win a few.
So take what we can do.
Please accept what we give to you.
(Chorus)
You can depend on Mommy and Daddy.
We love each other, we are family.
Together we'll depend on Jesus to help us through.
We pray as you grow, that you'll know
Jesus is depending on you.
Child, give your heart to Jesus.
Jesus is depending on you.
