God blessed me with a son To carry on my name But I know the real reason was To show me why Jesus came In the middle of the night, if I awake I will stand and watch him sleeping Looking down I'll touch his face Then I think about when he grows older Hopin' he won't turn around I must teach him how to love the Lord So the world can't bring him down Words cannot express the way I feel about my son Truly this is God showing me Why He gave His only one Chorus: Only Son (only Son) How I long to know Your ways Only One (only One) What a gift of matchless grace Now I know why You gave me A precious son to love For the sake of Your only one Now he's grown a little older Into a man becomes my son He doesn't listen to his daddy much He just turned twenty-one But like his father learned the hard way He must also learn one day Until the Lord becomes his guiding light He will never find his way Repeat Chorus (x2) How I love my only son I can't believe you gave your only Son Precious one begotten Son Only One
