[Verse 1]
NC Am F Am F Oh my son, you were born in a world that hates you Am F And I swear I will never forsake you C G F But there was a Father centuries ago C G F D F G Who watched his beloved Son die, oh, die
[Verse 2]
Am F Am F Oh my son, I am weak and I'm trembling Am F For the Lord I am always remembering C G F Oh what a strong Shepherd holds you in his arms C G F D F G He'll break you and make you his own, and then take you home
[Chorus]
C F G But if I could I would protect you from what you will see C F Fm This world may promise love and beauty, but it lied to me C D And I will show you, if you will listen F G C And I will promise to listen, too
[Bridge]
F C Oh yes, there are some who love the lies F They will kill you if they can C Though you speak the truth with love F They will hate you like the man Jesus Em F G Although he was God, he allowed himself broken for you F G Oh, allowed himself broken for you
[Chorus]
C F G And if I could I would protect you from what you will see C F Fm This world just might seem so alive, but it's dead to me C D And I will teach you, if you will hear me F C And I will promise to hear you, too F G Yes, I do
[Verse 3]
Am F Am F Oh my son, I am only your brother Am F For a sister, God gave me your mother C G F But just like a mother so long ago C G F D Had to watch her beloved son die, die F G Am Oh son, we will try to let you go
