Lullaby


Truett loves music! Have I mentioned that? I guess he would, given that I spend my first seven months of pregnancy on a stage twice a week singing in front of a drum set. Plus all the coorporate gatherings of God's people in singing that I participate in. Music just seems to calm him. I guess because it takes him back to the safety of being in the womb. He's been in the world only 4 months now and he was in the womb for 9. I don't blame him. We have a sweet time of worship together everyday. He just lights up with a smile when I sing to him. It's the dearest thing in the world. Here is his lullaby that he requests frequently, which is a prayer of mine for him...

You're a little piece of Heaven
You're a tiny ray of light
And I wish I could protect you
From the worries of this life
If there's one thing I could tell you
It's no matter what you do...

Hold to Jesus
He's holding onto you

The world will try to tell you
That might is more than right
That beauty is on the outside
And being good is a losing fight
Hold to what I tell you
For the world will make you choose

Hold to Jesus
He's holding onto you

Hold onto Jesus
And cling to His love
Rest deep in His mercy
Whenever things get rough
Don't lose sight of His goodness
And don't ever doubt this truth
When you hold onto Jesus
He's holding onto you

Here me dear Jesus
Rock this little one to sleep
Keep him close when he's scared
Give him grace when he's weak
I know he'll stumble
But I know he'll make it through
If you hold onto him
Just like You said you'd do
Hold him, Jesus
So he'll hold on tight...to You


"Not that I have already reached the goal or am already fully mature, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus."
