Back Story
I wanted to write a song for my grand-son Nolan Ian Oliver celebrating his 2nd birthday, August 30, 2008. This reflects my feeling about him and all my grand-children: they are gifts from God for which I am grateful. Nolan is a sweet and loving little boy who I am blessed to have in my life.

A Gift From God

Verse:		
Your name means God is good,
And that’s so true,
When it comes to you,
I knew it long before your birth,	
And told you so your first day on earth.
		
Chorus:	
You are a gift from God,
He created you with a smile,
A wink and a nod,
In this sad day and age,
Most think it odd,
But from conception,
I thought of you,
As a gift from God. 
				
Verse:		
Your other name means tree,
Like an acorn,
Before being born,
And as you grow so straight and tall,
I look in wonder and in awe.

Chorus:	
(repeat)

Bridge:	
You have one other name and it means winner,
Thanks to Jesus who saves all sinners.

Chorus:	
In this sad day and age,
Most think it odd,
But from conception,
I thought of you,
As a gift from God. 
		
Adlib:		
But from conception,
You were a gift from God.
