Lyrics Could You Give Your Only Son - The White River, White River

Could You Give Your Only Son

Seven pounds, two ounces
A baby boy is born
Teddy bears are waiting to be loved
A father smiling proudly
He’s been waiting for a son
He’s thankful for his blessings from above
Now he understands his father’s love
Could you give your only son
To set the captive free
Could you watch him die upon a rugged tree
Could you turn and walk away
Forsake the one you love
I wonder could you give your only son
In a manger long ago
A little boy begin to cry
His father watched him grow to be a man
Knowing all alone
That his son would have to die
A life or death wasn’t his command
He must have care a lot
Or fall the man
