There is a song that I have heard many, many times over the years that has always been one my favorites. But, strangely enough, it hasn't been until the last month or so that the words to the song have actually stood out to me and it suddently dawned on me what it's really about. Now I find myself listening to it over and over again, and it has taken on a completely new meaning for me. This song has become VERY dear to my heart and I wanted to share the words with you.
FROM GOD'S ARMS TO MY ARMS TO YOURS
By Michael McLean
So many wrong decisions in my past I'm not quite sure
If I can ever hope to trust my judgement anymore.
But lately I've been thinking, 'cause it's all I've had to do,
And in my heart I feel that I should give this child to you.
And maybe you can tell your baby,
When you love him so, that he's been loved before
By someone who delivered your son
From God's arms to my arms to yours.
If you choose to tell him and if he wants to know
How the one who gave him life could bear to let him go,
Just tell him there were sleepless nights
I prayed and paced the floors.
I know the only peace I'd find was if this child was yours.
And maybe you can tell your baby,
When you love him so, that he's been loved before
By someone who delivered your son
From God's arms to my arms to yours.
Now I know that you don't have to do this
But, could you kiss him once for me
The first time that he ties his shoes or falls and skins
his knee?
And could you hold him twice as long when he
makes his mistakes?
And tell him that he's not alone, sometimes that's all
it takes.
I know how much he'll ache.
This may not be the answer for another girl like me
And I'm not on a soapbox saying how we all should be.
I'm just trusting in my feelings and I'm trusting God
above
And I'm trusting you can give this baby both his
mother's love.
And maybe you can tell your baby
Wne you love him so, that he's been loved before
By someone who delivered your son
From God's arms to my arms to yours.
