Three A.M. a baby boy
A new life began
I held him in my arms and knew
One day he'd be a man
And soon I'd have to tell him
That this world is not our home
We must give our lives to Jesus
We are not our own

But for now just let me hold you, a little while
Let me adore you while you sl-eep, y-eah
Thank You Lord for such an angel
Make him Yours to k-eep
And then I whispered in his e-ar
There is something you must h-ear

~Chorus~
Any way the wind bl-ows
Don't you think that God knows
We must pass the fl-ame
We must pass the fl-ame
We are the light in a darkened world
We are the fire on the arrow
We must pass the fl-ame
We must pass the fl-ame

She was a portrait of innocence
I took her by the hand
For better or for worse we vowed, that with Jesus we'd stand
We would instill upon our children
That this world is not our home
We would tell them that our treasure
Is the promise that we own

But for now just let me hold you, a little while
Let me adore you while you sl-eep, whoa-oah
Thank You Lord for such an angel
Make him Yours to k-eep
So let me whisper in your ear
There is something you must h-ear

~Chorus~
We're the light in a darkened world

And Lord help us teach Your children well
And turn embers into f-ire
Make His love their soul desire

The doctors came into the room
The news was not too good
I said daddy if I could take your place
You know that I would
He said son please don't worry
Go and be there for your wife
You know we'll be together
In an everlasting life

Then I said dad I want to hold you, a little while
Let me adore you while you sl-eep, whoa-oah
Thank You Lord for such an angel
Take him home to k-eep
And then he whispered in my ear
There is something you must h-ear

~Chorus~
And any way the wind blows
Don't you think that God knows
We must pass the fl-ame
We must pass the fl-ame
We are the light in a darkened
w-orld
And must pass the fl-ame
And must pass the fl-ame

La-la-la la-la-la-la, o-oh
La-la-la la-la-la-la
Da a-ah
La-la-la-la-la la-la la
A-ah a-ah
