Your Father in Heaven

This is a song from a CD that I got when I was pregnant with Kaitlyn. I listened to it again the other day and remembered how much I enjoyed it! Thought I would share the words to this one.


Our precious little one, hello
Hope you don’t mind if we watch you grow
Today we saw you focus your eyes
And look at us with such surprise
Could you see we were giving thanks
To your Father in heaven

Soon you will learn to touch your nose
To giggle whenever we tickle your toes
And we can’t wait to hear you coo
And then you’ll talk and when you do
We hope you know you can always speak
With your Father in heaven

There’s a world of wonders
Waiting in store just outside our door
But the greatest thing that we ever will do
Is kneel at your bedside and introduce you
To the One who first thought of the wonder of you
Your Father in heaven

First you will crawl and then you’ll stand

We’re gonna cheer, we’re your biggest fans
You’ll take a step, and then one more
We hope it’s not too long before
You understand you can always run
To your Father in heaven

You’ll learn green is green and blue is blue
God’s crayon box comes with every hue
You’ll learn to make angels in the snow
To catch a frog and let it go
May you know that all good things come
From your Father in heaven

We pray that you’ll always run To your Father in Heaven

What a sweet song! I can't wait to meet Kaitlyn. Her picture is adorable, and Tamara said she is so cute! We're glad ya'll are in Abilene now and in class with us at Highland! We'll have to have the 3 of you over soon for dinner.

Listening to music from when you were pregnant with Kaitlyn???? Are you pregnant again??

No, Holly. Good grief! I should have known somebody would think that. Especially you! Flashback to, "You're hungry?" "Why are you so hungry, Leslie?" So inquisitive you are....

It's from the CD "We've Been Waiting for You" by Carolyn Arends.
