Well, I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open under the sunlight
Welcome to this place, I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well, I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open under the sunlight
Welcome to this place, I'll show you everything
With arms wide open, now everything has changed
I'll show you love, I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything, oh yeah
With arms wide open
Wide open

If I had just one wish, only one demand
I hope he's not like me, I hope he understands
That he can take this life and hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world with arms wide open

With arms wide open under the sunlight
Welcome to this place, I'll show you everything
With arms wide open, now everything has changed
I'll show you love, I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything, oh yeah
With arms wide open
Wide open

Psalm 91:1-16 KJV
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
[2] I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
[3] Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
[4] He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
[5] Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
[6] Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
[7] A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
[8] Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
[9] Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
[10] There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
[11] For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
[12] They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
[13] Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
[14] Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
[15] He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
[16] With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

This was played at my 7 year old son's funeral in 2007. Still hits a nerve but it reminds me of my little boy and to never forget that I'll see him again one day. R.I.P. Nicholas Raine Scott Craddock.... Daddy loves you boy.......

@howardbaltimore6963

So sorry

@MARKRICK32

I feel your pain. So young to be taken from you. Stay strong my friend!

@mohamedelhabibnibouch2484

Stay strong brother

@AK-jt7kh

This hits hard Jerry. Nothing in life compares to that. I really feel for you..so deeply. Iโ€™m sorry that happened. I wish these things just didnโ€™t exist. I hope you find ways to work through the grief process. Itโ€™s a good idea to have support.

I can't believe this song was written in 15 minutes at a soundcheck, when the lead singer (Stapp) found out he was going to be a father.

@junewilliams7220

How beautiful is that ๐Ÿ’–

@adrianaavila8853

Gorgeous story

@sargeinamerica

16 years ago I found out that I was going to be a father, this song is always playing in my mind. My wife and I have the most amazing daughter and I will fight to my last breath to provide and protect her!
Anyone can make a child it takes a man to be a Father!
Helps having an amazing wife to have your back!
