Hannah Marie Austin

A precious little girl,
Sent from heaven above,
She'll brighten up our days,
And fill our hearts with love.
Thank you Lord for granting us,
The privelage to be her parents,
And giving us the courage,
To always look to you for guidance.

The Wonder of You

Oh the wonder of you!
So cushioned from the world,
So tiny and so new,
You lie all curled.

I cherish hearing your heartbeat,
I love every tiny movement,
I can't wait for us to meet,
Until I can know true enjoyment.

So special, so sweet,
How miraculously amazing,
So little, so neat,
The Lord has made you and everything.

Oh the wonder of you!

A New Life, A New Beginning

A New life,
Growing within me,
A new beginning,
For all to see.

A hope, a dream,
Growing within me,
A new chapter,
For my family to be.

A blessing,
But also a burden,
An endless joy,
But also many a tear.

Lord, hold me close,
Help me to breathe,
When I feel squeezed,
Help me to feel your love.

Amen

Faith is....

Faith is...

Knowing you have an eternal soul,
Holding fast to the Promise,
Of God.

Sometimes your mind is fuzzy,
Your heart is achy,
And your soul is tired.
But you cling to the Promise,
Of God.

Sometimes your body is broken,
Your arms are heavy,
Your legs collapse,
But you hold fast to the Promise,
Of God.

Everlasting to Everlasting

From everlasting,
To everlasting,
You lead me on.

Hands, outstretching,
Hope, overflowing,
You lead me on.

Love, overwhelming,
Grace, over-reaching,
You lead me on.

Mercy, ever-enduring,
Wisdom, ever-generous,
You lead me on.

Holy Lord

You are Holy Lord,
You reign eternally,
You hold us gently,
In the palm of your hand.

You keep us,
You clothe us,
You bless us,
And nourish us.

Thank you Lord,
For Your goodness,
For caring,
For giving.

To create -
Expressing your inside ideas and fears,
Your hopes, dreams and things that bring you to tears,
Moulding, sculpting you as you progress,
Through all the growing years.

To believe -
That one day your goals will be achieved,
Your God will hold you when you grieve,
Your heart will experience joy, love and cleave,
To the One who provides, loves and hides,
You in His arms.

Uplift those around you,
Keep them in your prayers,
Listen to their worries, woes and joys,
Be a good friend  - always willing to lend,
Your ear and give of your heart.
