Pass The Flame Lyrics - Defying Gravity - John Elefante

Three A.M., a baby boy, a new life began 

I held him in my arms and knew one day he'd be a man 

And soon I'd have to tell him that this world is not our home 

We must give our lives to Jesus, we are not our own 

But for now just let me hold you, a little while 

Let me adore you while you sleep 

Thank You, Lord, for such an angel 

Make him Yours to keep 

And then I whispered in his ear 

There is something you must hear 

Anyway the wind blows 

Don't you think that God knows? 

We must pass the flame, we must pass the flame 

We are the light in a darkened world 

We are the fire on the arrow 

We must pass the flame, we must pass the flame 

She was a portrait of innocence I took her by the hand 

For better or for worse we vowed that with Jesus we'd stand 

We would instill upon our children that this world is not our home 

We would tell them that our treasure is the promise that we own 

But for now just let me hold you a little while 

Let me adore you while you sleep 

Thank You, Lord, for such an angel 

Make them Yours to keep 

So let me whisper in your ear 

There is something you must hear 

Anyway the wind blows 

Don't you think that God knows? 

We must pass the flame, we must pass the flame 

We are the light in a darkened world 

We are the fire on the arrow 

We must pass the flame, we must pass the flame 

And Lord, help us teach Your children well 

And turn embers in to fire 

Make Your love their soul desire 

The doctors came into the room, the news was not too good 

I said, "Daddy, if I could take your place, you know that I would" 

He said, "Son, please don't worry, go and be there for your wife 

You know we'll be together in an everlasting life" 

Then I said, "Dad, I want to hold you a little while 

Let me adore you while you sleep" 

Thank You, Lord, for such an angel 

Take him home to keep 

And then he whispered in my ear 

There is something you must hear 

Anyway the wind blows 

Don't you think that God knows? 

We must pass the flame, we must pass the flame 

We are the light in a darkened world 

We are the fire on the arrow 

We must pass the flame, we must pass the flame 

And anyway the wind blows 

Don't you think that God knows? 

We must pass the flame, we must pass the flame 

We are the light in a darkened world 

And we must pass the flame, and we must pass the flame
