I’m watching you pretend to read, I am so proud
Your mother and I love to talk about
What kind of man you’ll grow to be
Will you paint? Will you sing? Will you write poetry?
You can’t stay still when we’re reading the Bible
But you say “Amen” when we’re done praying
Your brother runs around when we’re singing hymns
But you are spellbound by all kinds of music
Not even two, already sinning
It’s clear you are Adam’s progeny
But I pray for you, my sweet Henry,
That the Second Adam would claim you graciously
I intend to neglect none
Of your deep feelings, your firey passion
I will teach you not to despise
Your neediness, my Jesus can meet it
I will show you what you were made for
I will train you up to fear the Lord
I will teach you how to fight dragons
And how to confess sins, and how to forgive them
I will show you strength and honor
Begins on your knees: allegiance to the King
