The Gift of Life
Children
are truly one of the greatest blessings God gives to us!
I invite
you to insert your children’s names in the poem as you read,
reflecting on how
much they mean to you. Then go tell them…
God's gift of life is a fragile thing -
Wonderful, beautiful, on loan from the King.
And God has given to us on this earth
Four little lives of infinite worth:
Felicity, Bethany, Peter, and William.
Two more wait for us on heaven’s side;
CB and Riley we’ll see by and by.
But for now we have here to hug and to hold,
To nurture and train for their God to be bold,
Wonderful, beautiful, on loan from the King.
And God has given to us on this earth
Four little lives of infinite worth:
Felicity, Bethany, Peter, and William.
Two more wait for us on heaven’s side;
CB and Riley we’ll see by and by.
But for now we have here to hug and to hold,
To nurture and train for their God to be bold,
Felicity, Bethany, Peter, and William.
Their smiles bring more life into our own,
Their bright eyes and keen minds with His
light have shone,
And we pray we may be true reflections of Him
Who loves us so perfectly without taint of
sin,
To Felicity, Bethany, Peter, and William.
Their lives are a miracle that His
fingerprints show,
Their futures are bright as the new fallen
snow,
And they'll stay in our hearts forever we
know
(Sweet loves of our love wherever they go),
Felicity, Bethany, Peter, and William.
(Sweet loves of our love wherever they go),
Felicity, Bethany, Peter, and William.
Wonderful, beautiful, on loan from the King.
And God has given to us on this earth
Four little lives of infinite worth:
Felicity, Bethany, Peter, and William.
