It's the day after Christmas and I have been able to spend some time with my two sons here at home, playing with toys on the floor and taking naps together. If you've never heard of Sara Groves or any of her music then I'd advise you to go to her website and listen to some of her lyrics. I've got a new favorite song written by her which is on her album entitled Station Wagon; Songs for Parents, named Prayers for This Child. I love Andrew and Luke so much that these words could have been written by me!
I do not know how I am to pray for this child
as a mother I don't want my baby denied
but in the waiting in the waiting I learned
every instinct in me wants to shield him from pain
take the arrows of misery heartache and blame
but in the sorrow in the sorrow I learned to hold on
I only have two eyes - be all seeing
I only have two hands - be everywhere
I do not know enough - to be all knowing
I give this baby up into your care
I do not know how, how to pray for this child
I want to guard him from everything wicked and wild
but in the trial in the trial I learned to hold on
And in the trial, in the trial
I learned to hold on to the heart of God
