JJ Heller's song 'Still My Little Boy' is a tender reflection from Mary's perspective as she watches Jesus grow from a child into the man who would suffer on the cross. The lyrics recall intimate moments of motherhood—holding his tiny hand, singing lullabies, and comforting him when he cried. As Jesus faces his crucifixion, Mary remembers his childhood and expresses both her deep love and her sorrow, acknowledging that he is the Lamb of God yet still her little boy. The song beautifully captures the human and divine nature of Jesus, blending maternal affection with the weight of his sacrificial mission.

When you were a child I remember
Your tiny hand in mine
Fragile as a flower
I would watch you sleep
And listen to you breathing
I'd hold you when you cry
I wish I could you now
If I sing your lullaby
Will you hear my voice
I know you are the lamb of God
But you're still my little boy
In the dead of night
You would call me
Water, momma please?
Life was simple then
I hear you calling now
Suffering and bleeding
This your cup to drink
So I'd never thirst again
If I sing your lullaby
Will you hear my voice
I know you are the lamb of God
You're still my little boy
I didn't know how much this would hurt
When I saw you play in the dirt
When I watched you climbing the trees
Didn't know you would climb one for me
For me...
If I sing your lullaby
Will you hear my voice
I know you are the lamb of God
The bruised and broken son I love
Somehow you will deliver us
But you're still my little boy
You're still my little boy
