A Song That I Love

Before I started this blog I found another blog that inspired me. A grieving mother, Angie Smith, started it when she was pregnant with her daughter, Audrey Caroline, Audrey went to her heavenly home a couple peaceful hours after her birth. She wrote the following song with a friend Christa Wells and with her husband Todd...about the feelings they have for their beautiful baby Audrey. Audrey was born the day before Riesse April 7th (Riesse on April 8th). This song touches my heart very deeply...and I wanted to share it with you...please read the lyrics...they mean so much to her and to me.

I Will Carry You

There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?

People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this

So I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen me
To carry you

Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I Know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says...

I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?

I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen Me
To carry you
