Songtexte Nathan's Song - Michael Card

Welcome now, little stranger, to a world filled with wonder
Field full of the fragrance of life's sweet bouquet
But dear one, take warning that birth's like a morning
To a lifetime that flies past like one single day

Soak up like a sponge all that's joyful and best
And squeeze yourself out upon those who are blessed
The God-given gift has been wrapped up in you
You show more of Him than I'll ever teach you

There are no words to thank You for a heart that can see
And gaze in the face of this small mystery
You knit him together in a most secret place
A most certain sign of Your wonderful grace

Soak up like a sponge all that's joyful and best
And squeeze yourself out upon those who are blessed
The God-given gift has been wrapped up in you
You show more of Him than I'll ever teach you

Welcome now, little stranger, to a world filled with wonder
To a world torn asunder, to a world that's in pain
My son, life's a battle, so you'd be a rebel
Stand ready to fight, and never stop loving the light
