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 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. . . *************************** "His Strength is Perfect" Stephen Curtis Chapman/Jerry Salley I can do all things Through Christ who gives me strength But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me No glory on my own Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know. . . His strength is perfect when our strength is gone He'll carry us when we can't carry on Raised in His power, the weak become strong His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect We can only know the power that He holds When we truly see how deep our weakness goes His strength in us begins Where ours comes to an end He hears our humble cry and proves again. . . His strength is perfect when our strength is gone He'll carry us when we can't carry on Raised in His power, the weak become strong His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect ***************************** "My Dream Come True" Robert Hawkins/Jeff Silvey I love to watch you sleeping All nestled in your bed As one arm rests across your chest The other by your head I hear you softly breathing and a chill comes over me Without a sound I bend down and gently kiss your cheek I don't know what you're dreaming but you're my dream come true I can't believe I'm standing here looking back at you I see your peaceful slumber smile and wonder if I'm dreaming too I don't know what you're dreaming but you're my dream come true Your night-light casts a shadow upon the moonlit wall Your rocking horse is small of course but now looks ten feet tall Is this the steed you ride on when drifting off to sleep Your toy chest there can not be where your secret treasures keep I see your peaceful slumber smile and wonder if I'm dreaming too Don't know what your'e dreaming But you're my dream come true ****************************************** "His Eyes" Steven Curtis Chapman/James Isaac Elliott Sometimes His eyes were gentle And filled with laughter And sometimes they cried Sometimes there was a fire Of holy anger In Jesus' eyes But the eyes that saw hope in the hopeless That saw through the fault to the need Are the same eyes that look down from heaven Into the deepest part of you and me His eyes are always upon us His eyes never close in sleep And no matter where you go You will always be in His eyes, in His eyes Sometimes His voice comes calling Like rolling thunder Or like driving rain And sometimes His voice is quiet And we start to wonder If He knows our pain But He who spoke peace to the water Cares more for our hearts than the waves And the voice that once said "You're forgiven" Still says "You're forgiven" today Sometimes I look above me when stars are shining And I feel so small How could the God of heaven and all creation Know I'm here at all But then in the silence He whispers "My child, I created you too And you're my most precious creation I even gave my Son for you" And His eyes are always upon you And His eyes never close in sleep And no matter where you go you will always be You will always be in His eyes No matter where you go You will always be in His eyes Sometimes His eyes were gentle And filled with laughter ******************************* My Little Angels Prayer Sunshine Joy Fisher June 25, 2000 I cannot hold you little Angel, I can only swish the air. So for you I'd love to give this gift . . . My little Angels Prayer. Dear Lord, Lay her sweet head upon your lap and caress her beautiful hair. Put your kiss upon her head And let her know you're there. Let her feel from us our love that never ends. So that her feet may dance with joy, across the gentle winds. Allow her Lord to sweep the worlds, With her beauty and her grace. Because we know her presence there makes the heavens a more wondrous place. Lord, reach your love around our child, And embrace her once for me. And tell her that we will give our love For all eternity. Lord give her the gift to share her love like she did on earth. With all of the little angels everywhere, So that they may feel it's worth. Amen. I cannot hold you little one. I can only swish the air. But keep our love within your soul until we see you there. Todd-Inovisions NC ******************************* Sunshine Words by Michael Mobley To the tune of "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" by Stevie Wonder You are the Sunshine of our lives,---Forever you'll be in our hearts You are the Sunshine of our lives---Forever you'll be in our hearts And we know that you're up in Heaven, you'll be there forevermore---ahahahahah We'll be there some day with your sister, and then we'll never have to shed another tear You are the Sunshine of our lives, and the Sunshine of your grandmas in heaven. Tell the we love--them--too--and we're gonna join the party some day. We'll see you when we get to heaven---We know you're in Jesus' arms And we will miss you till we're there too, But we know He will keep you safe and warm. . . You are the Sunshine of our lives---Forever you'll be in our hearts You are the Sunshine of our lives---Forever you'll be in our hearts **************************** Good Bye, Little One Garry Fisher 3-9-90 (Poppy read this poem that he wrote at Sunshine's memorial service.) Goodbye, Little one You were only here a short time; We hardly got to know you. All the memories never gathered, All the games never played, All the pictures never taken, Are shadows on a day that never dawned. Goodbye, Little one You didn't suffer much, they told us; We hope that's really true. All the hurts you might have known, All the harms you might have come to, All the fears you might have faced, Are the rough spots in a road untraveled. Goodbye, Little one You left a hole down deep inside us; We're feeling empty, numb and cold. All the kind deeds of our friends, All the gestures of their love, All the affections they have offered, Aren't enough to fill the void. Goodbye, Little one You seem so far away, but wait-- We see a light shining on ahead, All the tomorrows we can't see yet, All the stories not yet told, All the answers we can't guess yet, Give us strength to carry on. Goodbye, Little one Once a Father said the same words To the only Son begotten. All the faith He lived to teach us, All the hope He died to give us, All the love that brought His life back, Heal the heart, the mind, the soul. So Goodbye, Sunshine It really won't be all that long Until we say "hello" forever. All the heartache then forgotten, All the pain left far behind, All the grief turned into goodness, Guaranteed through Christ our Lord. |
