Schultz, Mark - He's My Son Lyrics






I'm down on my knees again tonight,
I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right.
See, there is a boy that needs Your help.
I've done all that I can do myself
His mother is tired,
I'm sure You can understand.
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand,
And she tries
Not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes.

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place some how.
See, he's not just anyone, he's my son.

Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep,
I dream of the boy he'd like to be.
I try to be strong and see him through,
But God, who he needs right now is You.
Let him grow old,
Live life without this fear.
What would I be
Living without him here?
He's so tired,
And he's scared
Let him know that You're there.

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place some how.
See, he's not just anyone, he's my son.

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow.
See, he's not just anyone.

Can You hear me?
Can You see him?
Please don't leave him,
He's my son.

  1. K.... L....

    My Son Isaiah Alonzo Neal Been With God September 23 2015. Oh Wow I wish he was here.

  2. S.... C....

    My prayer.....every single day for my son. Struggling with addiction.

  3. B.... E....

    I volunteered at a children's hospital a number of years ago in Ann Arbor Michigan.
    I ministered to children that were were terminal. I spoke and prayed with the parents.
    Nothing breaks your heart like seeing an innocent child suffering and how many times i asked God to give me their pain, at least for a little while so they could rest. I prayed with the heart broken parents and offered them the only hope in this life and the next, Jesus Christ.
    There is much we don't understand in this life but Jesus said one day every tear would be wiped away and there will be no more pain and suffering. We have that hope and promise and we will see our loved ones again for eternity.
    But even Jesus wept at Lazarus grave site knowing full well he would raise him. He sees and knows our pain as the heart of a father would.
    Noting more heart wrenching than a child suffering, Jesus hears our cry's and prayers, sometimes the ultimate healing comes in the next life.
    This song incredible touches the heart and cry of every parent going through this.
    God bless you Mark for your sensitivity and writing this song.

  19. A.... H....

    I prayed this prayer every single day my son was in Iraq. I was terrified. He was in danger, and a combat veteran. I wanted nothing more then for him to feel God, and Me by his side. I would have changed places with him. He only wanted to defend his country. Too me he was already a hero. I love you Justin will all my heart and soul. THANK YOU JESUS HE CAME HOME!

    I heard this song in the year 2004 my son Raider was diagnosed in 2003 with brain cancer he was 8 years old at the time. As a mother I would listen to Christian music in my ears as I go to sleep and as I was in a deep sleep I heard this song in my ears I didn't know the name of the song until I heard it again in the morning. It blessed me so much that I even shared it with my sons and I asked them what do you think about the song. There comments were it reminded them of me and my little boy raider and what we were going through at the time. I wanna thank you from the bottom my heart this song is an inspiration of my life and his life he is gonna be 24 years old January 31st And 16 years of cancer free I give God all the glory and honor for his grace and his keeping power upon my son. He was not able to join any sports in school cause of his disability after they removed the Tumor from his head. Thank you again Mark for this beautiful song that you have written. May the Lord bless you with more amazing songs to sing. Love always Patsy Rivera and family.

  44. K.... J....

    So beautiful. Many of Mark's songs are very emotional, and so powerful.

  45. A.... G....

    I had a diaphragmatic hernia right when I was born in 1998. It severely restricted my breathing . Had to be in the hospital for months . On a ventilator . My parents stayed at the hospital day and night for all that time . The emotional pain they must have felt I can’t imagine . I was gonna die . But God had other plans . I thank God for saving me from death . I’m 20 now . Thanks Mark for making this amazing song . This song is very close to me and my family .

  46. L.... T....

    I get super nostalgic vibes listening to this.
    God bless this great man and his music. 🙏

  47. C.... ....

    John 3:16

  48. c.... ....

  50. g.... ....

    I hope Micheal Buble has heard this song, his son is going through Cancer treatment at the moment, my prayers go out to him through this song!

  51. p.... e....

    Good friend of mine's 10 year old son has been in and out of the hospital his whole little life with lung issues. He's getting worse now and might not make it to 11. I want to send her this song but I'm afraid it would break her heart even more. Little Samuel needs some prayers please!

  54. P.... C....

    Had to hear this song again. During testing at the hospital yesterday my 19 year old son went into major grand mal seizures. I was holding him trying to comfort him when he just went lifeless. He expelled all of his air and collapsed in my arms. I knew he was dead and I prayed God would let me take his place. After about a minute he took a huge breath and momentarily looked me in the eyes. He would survive thanks to God but I have never been so heartbroken and yet so sure that He was still in control.

  55. A.... M....

    I have always avoided listening to this song because each time I do I end up in tears. My six-year-old boy was in a similar situation as the boy in the song though with sickle cell, each time he had monthly crises it was a tough struggle for him and my wife and me. He eventually passed on a few days to his sixth birthday. Ever since then I completely appreciated this wonderful inspirational song of Mark. I had always wished I could take the place of my son in those moments he went through the crises. But God knows the best and even now as painful as it is, I am somehow happy that in heaven where he is now, he can no longer go through any crisis.
    Thank you very much, Mark, for this song.

  56. F.... H....

    My brother has a son young. A toddler. Went through 11 heart surgeries in Brazil. Somehow always made it. This early morning almost couldn't get him to the hospital. His pacemaker has been rejected over and over. We cried our souls out. Now speaking with my brother (who I have recently reencountered after over a decade) I thought of this song. He does not speak English.i tried finding the translation to no avail. But I decided to use Google translate. Which normally is terrible at translating large texts. But this time it translated well into Portuguese. Such a beautiful heartfelt song. Brought me to tears and my brother too. Thank you, for this prayer my brother and our family needed for little Brayon. Please pray for him.

  57. D.... M....

    I can't even imagine the amount of desperation parents must feel when there otherwise healthy child dies. Suddenly. I have a funeral to attend tomorrow of such case. I'm sad I can't even describe the feeling. 🤯😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  58. D.... M....

    This song......is just so powerful. I cry every time I hear it.

  59. D.... R....

    Such a beautiful heartfelt song! The lyrics are awesome as well as the passion it is sung with!

    D.... R....

    I totally agree with you dear 100% :)

  60. L.... P....

    I can't listen to this song without crying. My little boy has been through so much in his 3 years of life. So many specialists visits, three MRI's, two eeg's, 3 hospital stays. He doesn't walk, sit up or crawl. He's the development of an infant and we stiil don't know 100% why. I'm scared for his future, I'm tired of seeing him go through so much. And I'm angry that this happened to him. But, my son also laughs, smiles and has a sweet spirit. He's a fighter and I will keep fighting alongside him 💙

  61. c.... z....

    Pray for me as I battle drug addiction, lord father help me get out of this hell. I love you Jesus

    if you call out the name of Christ Jesus He will answer you. For the Holy Bible reads:
    Revelation 3:20 (ESV): Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

    c.... z....

    Roam the life outside to help you. So much beauty outside.

    c.... z....

    I promise you he will

    I am not a parent but this song gives me a taste of the incredible love a parent has for their child. I cry evertime.

  65. G.... E....

    This is a God written song I wish his voice never depart from my heart, if I can hear it for the rest of my day and be his son.

  66. P.... W....

    This song is definitely a special one. I cry every time I listen to it, and I'm not a person who often cries to music. I feel this weight of sorrow for the parents, because this boy never got the chance to live.

  67. o.... ....

    Where was this song 22 years ago when my little boy was battling leukemia?

    I heard Mark do this song live many years ago. He precedes the song talking about his friend who's son was diagnosed with cancer. He asked Mark if he would write a song about their experience with this dreadful disease. Mark states that the closest he came to writing the song, was that he just happened to be in the room at the time that God gave it to him. Then he played the song, and after he was done, he stated that the boy is now 15 and cancer free. Then the tears came.

  77. J.... A....

    I cried listening to this song cause I write songs and I feel something as I write them...

  89. H.... C....

    I listened to this son for the first time in over three years. From age 14 on my son suffered from schizophrenia terribly. He attempted suicide many times over the years, but had a 97 morphine pill overdose in 2012 (adam custin miracle on you tube). Doctors said he would die. No brain wave activity, body organs shutting down, etc. We took him off life support, but played this song one last time on his chest while many people prayed around the room. Four days later he woke up! A miracle. He would go back under for several weeks, and when he awoke was 98 pounds and literally a vegetable. Had to relearn everything. He did! He was also free of voices in his head! He was the dream son we always knew was hiding in there. He was 21. At 24 we took a trip to Glacier Park, Montana one month prior to him starting college to become a social worker to help others like him. In the altitudes his voices returned. December 25, 2015 he successfully took his life. Adam was a miracle. Adam helped so many others through his story and continues to today even in death. Listening to this song again today brought back some tearful memories for sure. We shared our story through Life Quest Church Sunday, 28, 2017 in Belton, Mo. You can find it on their Facebook page. God bless the parent who suffers through their child.

  90. H.... D....

  94. B.... K....

    I encourage anyone to cry out to God as this song says. this song got me through a chronic illness with my son. You have to give him to God when you have watched him suffer and there's nothing you can do. God answered my prayers but in His own time. Parents watching their child deal with an illness...you are all in my prayers tonight. Even though I don't even know you. I am praying forward my blessing that you find strength and healing through God's almighty power and grace.
    He's not just anyone...He's my son.

  95. T.... ....

    Great, God bless you
