If I Had a Son

If I had a son,
he would surely be a man-
one Jehovah loves,
for I would teach him his commands,
the ways to value Truth.

If I had a son,
he'd never have to fear,
for he would know just what it's like
to keep Jehovah near.
If a woman casts her eyes
upon his focused life,
then I'd teach him how to find
the best example of a wife.

I would keep him close
as I teach him how to work,
how to be the man he is,
how to cherish what he's earned.
Most of all these things that I
would show him with each day,
there's how to trust Jehovah God-
how to keep his way.
