If I give you My Son,
Will you treat Him well?
Will you honor His Name
And heed what He'll tell?
Will you remember to thank,
For the wonders He'll do?
Will you love Him, if I
Give My Son to you?

If I give you My Son,
Will you see that He's warm?
Will you shelter Him here
And keep Him from harm?
When He's weary and worn,
From the deeds that He's done,
Will you pillow His head -
At the setting of sun?

If I give you My Son,
Will you walk hand in hand?
Will you live your life
The way He'll understand?
Oh, will you be a friend
That is trustworthy - true?
Will you love Him, if I
Give My Son to you?

If I give you My Son,
Will you lift Him up high?
Will you bring Him no shame,
Never cause Him to cry?
Will you live on in peace,
Praising Him as if one?
Will you love Him, if I
Give you My only Son?

Will you love Him, if I
Give you My only Son?
