Every day with you is a gift not promised
A new morning mercy that breaks through night’s darkness
To hold you is a grace given
One that tomorrow could be taken
A beautiful moment to cherish
With no guarantee it will replenish
Little one this is what death has taught me about life
And about love, and how time can cut joy like a knife
So I will keep holding your little frame
And singing to you His name
Because dishes and dusting can wait
While I praise God for what He can create
And enjoy each little breath you take
Asleep in my arms, my love for you making my heart ache
Your sleepy smiles making me wonder what you’re dreaming
And making me dream of hearing you giggling
My little girl if your eyes ever read these words
Then remember the One who cares for the birds
Remember your mama told you to look to Jesus
Because in His love we can be fearless
Because He is a redeemer and friend
Because He knows how to make a beginning from an end
Because one day He will bind all that’s broken together
Handing out joy with no measure
Because I want to dance those glassy golden streets with you
Rejoicing in the One who makes all things new.
