"Glory Baby"

There is a song by the Christian band, Watermark, called "Glory Baby" which is a song about miscarriage. We figured this would be an appropriate way to announce we have done just that, miscarried. We are very much at peace with God's sovereignty and take rest in Psalm 139:16. God has given us both great and significant peace...really. We aren't just saying that.

"Glory Baby"
by: Watermark

Glory baby you slipped away as fast as we could say baby…baby..
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…

BRIDGE:
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…

Even though the baby we carried never got any bigger than our pinky-nail, it is comforting to know that he/she had a soul and is with its Creator...and his/her brother/sister that was also miscarried three years ago.
