In God’s Arms
God’s Arms
In our arms we hoped to hold you, safe from all harm.
With our eyes we hoped to see you grow up and behold
The future that awaited you filled with hopes and dreams.
We wanted to kiss you and show you our love
And teach you the love of our God up above.
But God’s plans were greater than we can ever dream.
He planned your life perfectly,
Though too short it seemed.
For although I could hold you for moments at a time
His arms are greater, much greater than mine.
Now in my dreams I long to know you as the blessing you are.
As I wait for that glorious day, when your face I’ll behold.
And when the future that awaited us is finally revealed
I’ll run to you and hold you and fully understand
Of how the point of it all was hidden in His hands.
Because…
Oh how I wish I could hold you for moments at least,
But you were always God’s little one.
And, now you’re safe in His arms.
This is the song I wrote for our “glory baby”.
Beth ha t go and write a post on her blog that teared me up. GEez!
Our pastor preached on Psalm 121 on Sunday. What timing of this passage. God is great.
