My Child Was Special

For a long time Lord, My life then was in gloom,

you’ve been beckoning on me. devoid of any light.

To work in your vineyard, My jewel, my treasure,

be with you all the way. she was gone, she was gone!

For so many times, Then in the midst of darkness,

I ignored your call. a flicker of light glimmered.

I was always so busy, The flicker turned to brightness,

a lot of work to toil. from there I saw her face.

Finally I reckoned, Behold, the heaven’s door opened,

I then had the time. a beautiful sight revealed.

Quite late to heed your call, My jewel, in her usual mirth,

but you didn’t mind. was singing with angels!

Then my life began to bloom, Then came Jesus in all splendor,

I then saw the difference. he beckoned on my child.

A new spring time had come, Gleefully she ran to Him,

I was all laughter, I could sing! to the open arms of my savior.

But the joy was short-lived, Dear God, I’m so sorry,

when disaster struck. for ever doubting you.

You took her away from me, I know my child was special,

for what reason, I couldn’t see. that’s why she’s now with you.

Why God, has this to happen, Thank you for your comfort,

what terrible sin have I done? through the people around me.

I was quite late in your vineyard, Their hearts full of compassion,

but I thought you didn’t mind. filled with your love for me.
