He said, "Mother, I must leave you now to do my Father's work."
Although my heart is breaking, I could not tell him how I hurt.
He was born a child of wonder, and I knew this day would come,
But I did not see a Savior then, I only saw my son.
I remember in the temple when the wise men stood in awe
That one so young could speak so boldly about our holy law.
Now you're grown; God's will is known; You are His chosen one.
Still, I would take this cup from you... To me, you are my son.
And you shall reign, the angel said, throughout eternity.
God gave the world a Savior, but He gave a son to me.
Your burden will be heavy, but you never will deny
The task that you were born to do, as the angel prophesied.
In my heart I will take ev'ry step with you, and when your journey's done,
I will not hold a Savior then, I will only hold my son.
I will not hold a Savior then, I will only hold my son.
