Nathan's Song - Michael Card
Welcome now little stranger
To a world filled with wonder
Filled full of the fragrance
Of life's sweet bouquet
But dear one take warning
That births like a morning
To a lifetime that flies past
Like one single day
Soak up like a sponge
All that's joyful and best
And squeeze yourself out
Upon those who are blessed
A God given gift
Has been wrapped up in you
You show more of Him
Than I'll ever teach you
There are no words to thank you
For a heart that can see
And gaze in the face
Of this small mystery
You knit him together
In a most secret place
A most certain sign
Of your wonderful grace
Soak up like a sponge
All that's joyful and best
And squeeze yourself out
Upon those who are blessed
A God given gift
Has been wrapped up in you
You show more of him
Than I'll ever teach you
Welcome now little stranger
To a world filled with wonder
To a world torn asunder
To a world that's in pain
My son life's a battle
So you be a rebel
Stand ready to fight
And never stop loving the light
