about

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! (Psalm 127:3-5)

My sons are a blessing from the Lord is I wanted to write a song that lets them know.

My oldest son came up to me when he was around 2-3 and told me, "Dada. I love you more thaaaaaannnnn......ice cream." I didn't know how he could make such a great comparison and didn't know how to respond. I saw that kid eat ice cream and he is a certainly my son.

I prepared the next day for him to say it again. We went from ice cream to chocolate to video games and kept going until I exhausted his vocabulary. I used one more comparison knowing that I had won this little game. Then, he said, "I love you even more." I lost...

lyrics

[Verse]
With a whole world of vocabulary at my disposal, I find that I'm at a loss for words...

[PreChorus]
...and so I will say the best way I can say

[Chorus]
More than ice cream
more than chocolate
more than video games
my sons, I love you more than these

[Verse]
I have so much to learn and you, so much to teach like the way you always bring smiles to me or the way you make me feel strong when I am weak.

[PreChorus]
These days, these memories; they are priceless so believe me when I say...

[Chorus]
More than sunsets
more than the dawn
more than the oceans
My sons, I love you so much more than these

[Bridge]
And I hope you will follow me as I follow in the footsteps of the Savior
I hope that this song will make you smile for days to come

[repeat chorus]
