a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance

Today we weep. Today we mourn.

Glory Baby
by Watermark

Glory baby you slipped away as fast as we could say baby…baby..
You were growing, what happened dear?
You disappeared on us baby…baby..
Heaven will hold you before we do
Heaven will keep you safe until we’re home with you…
Until we’re home with you…

Miss you everyday
Miss you in every way
But we know there’s a
day when we will hold you
We will hold you
You’ll kiss our tears away
When we’re home to stay
Can’t wait for the day when we will see you
We will see you
But baby let sweet Jesus hold you
‘till mom and dad can hold you…
You’ll just have heaven before we do
You’ll just have heaven before we do

Sweet little babies, it’s hard to
understand it ‘cause we’re hurting
We are hurting
But there is healing
And we know we’re stronger people through the growing
And in knowing-
That all things work together for our good
And God works His purposes just like He said He would…
Just like He said He would…

BRIDGE:
I can’t imagine heaven’s lullabies
and what they must sound like
But I will rest in knowing, heaven is your home
And it’s all you’ll ever know…all you’ll ever know…

I'm so sorry about what you're going through - there really is not much that you can compare the hurt to, I know. I'll pass on something someone told me, Let it hurt, the pain is real. Praying for you guys.

you've been on my mind a lot since this post. i thought i had your e-mail address, but don't seem to...what a powerful song. we grieve with you, and hope there is healing in the midst of it all.

enjoy your guests...i'm hoping to meet them when they are in nashville. funny timing, indeed!
