To Ann & Brent

When God looked down upon this earth and saw the time had come
To place into a special home, a precious newborn son
He chose the parents wisely, he knew that he must find
A home aglow with light and truth to house this son, divine.

For He knew this little spirit, so pure from heaven's care
Would linger just a little while 'til he'd be called back there.
He searched for parents who'd be strong and understand his ways
Trusting God would be with them and help them through their days.

And oh, how God doth love them and if He could He'd spare
The heartache that has come to them, the cross they're called to bear.

Yes God, in all His mercy, feels this sorrow too
His heart is full of love and hurt as He looks down on you.

For oh the joys this baby brought -- so quickly time goes by
So little time to hold him close and sing a lullaby
So little time to dream and plan the future for their son
Then all too soon the bow and say, Dear Lord, Thy will be done.

Yet God in all His wisdom knows the future plan
He knows the blessings waiting since this small life began
He knew you'd put your trust in Him
He knows the joys in store
He'll hold them in safe keeping
They're yours forevermore!
