I Love You, Son

Description

Little boy sits on a chair
Waitin’ for his dad
Scared and cryin’
‘Cause he’d been bad

Stole a toy on a dare
From the corner drugstore
But he got caught
Slippin’ out the door

And finally, when his pa arrived,
The boy couldn’t look him in the eye
He said, “Oh, Dad, I know you hate me.”
And then in disbelief, he heard his father say:

"I love you, son.
Just tell me what you’ve done.
Life’s full of problems;
Together, we can solve them.
Talk it out with me;
We’ll work it out, you’ll see.
I love you, son.”

Then he turned 16
With a license to drive
Stereo loud
A girl by his side

Lost control on a curve
And the car overturned
But they crawled out
And watched that Mustang burn

From a sheriff’s station telephone,
He found the old man at home
He said, “Oh, Dad, you’re gonna hate me.”
And then in disbelief, he heard his father say:

"I love you, son.
Just tell me what you’ve done.
Life’s full of problems;
Together, we can solve them.
Talk it out with me;
We’ll work it out, you’ll see.
I love you, son.”

At 36, what could have been
Was in an awful mess
Broken dreams, a broken home,
Broken promises

So in the valley of his dark despair
Rose a first attempt at prayer
He said, “Oh, Lord, I know you hate me.”
Then in disbelief, he heard the Father say:

"I love you, son.
Just tell me what you’ve done.
Life’s full of problems;
Together, we can solve them.
Talk it out with me;
We’ll work it out, you’ll see.
I love you, son.”

“I Love You, Son” ~ as sung by the Crist Family
