YOUR SON - GIVE HIM GOD

YOUR SON - GIVE HIM GOD
(c)2005 Stephanie Durand
(written for a mother I met who's son was "lost" and she didn't know how to help him...years later, he is doing very well and their bond is so much stronger! Teenage years are tough for teenagers and their parents, but we have to try to understand our children's concerns, fears, and sadness and really listen, and continue to pray for them... and for us ..to have wisdom and keep them filled with hope, and not despair, and teach them to pray for themselves and others)

Your son,
Do you worry about him when you lay your head down at night?
Your son,
Do you not know what you see when you look into his eyes?
Is the pain behind the look too hard for you to bear inside?

Have you given him everything in his life
that a mother could give
But have you given him....God...to turn to

Do you not understand the pain you see in his eyes
Can you not reach him though you have tried

Can he turn to Jesus when his life is not going right
When he moves out, will he know who to turn to when he
is alone at night

Give your child the peace, the everlasting life,
Let him call on Jesus, when he hurts and cries at night

A friend to turn to...a savior to call on
when he is alone at night
