He's My Son

I changed the song recently so that when you open our blog it plays He's my son by Mark Schultz. As your reading this, you are hearing it. Please put your speakers on if you don't. Listen to the words-that is how I feel about my son. It reminds me of the time he was on life support and we did not know if he would live and if he did what state he would be in. I remember begging the Lord in prayer not to take my son. Today, I watch him sleep praying for him. Praying the Lord will not let him be scared anymore, not hurt, let him grow old. I pray for the Lord's strength every day for my son cherishing every miunte I have with him. I find myself taking pictures of him sleeping. He is so precious and peaceful when he sleeps. Below are the words to the song. Below that are pictures of Nicholas from the time he was born until today. His life story in pictures.




I'm down on my knees again tonight
I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right
See there is a boy that needs Your help
I've done all that I can do myself
His mother is tired
I'm sure You can understand
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand
And she tries not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes
CHORUS:
Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me Let me take his place somehow
See, he's not just anyone He's my son
Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep
I dream of the boy he'd like to be
I try to be strong and see him through
But God who he needs right now is You
Let him grow old
Live life without this fear
What would I be
Living without him here
He's so tired and he's scared
Let him know that You're there
CHORUSCan You hear me?
Can You see him?
Please don't leave him He's my son (He's My Son by Mark Schultz)

Born in at 4.7 lbs.....

Couple of days before surgery. The day after he got home from Brenner.

Please pray with us for Nicholas that the Lord will continue to heal him and give him strength.
