This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
Labor Of My Heart
I would have given anything
to be the one to know
the pain of bringing you into this world
but it couldn't be ...
Though I did not bring you here
still I labored in my tears
through the long nights I prayed
you would come to me ...
You are the labor of my heart Child,
you are the labor of my heart
with all my strength I prayed
till they laid you in my arms Child,
you are the labor of my heart ...
Blessed be the maker
of bone of other bone.
He made flesh of my desire
and today I take you home...
You are the labor of my heart Child,
you are the labor of my heart
with all my strength I prayed
till they laid you in my arms Child,
you are the labor of my heart Child,
you are the labor of my heart... Author -- Steve and Annie Chapman
A Half A World Away
A half a world away,
sometimes it seems we're so far apart.
But a half a world away,
is not too far for a journey of the heart.
My little one, my precious joy,
I'm waiting for you.
My precious daughter, my little girl,
I know you're waiting too.
A half a world away,
a child waits for a family of her own.
While a half a world away,
a family waits to come bring her home.
My little one, my precious joy,
I'm whispering a prayer.
My precious daughter, my little girl,
I hope to soon be there.
A half a world away,
so many months of waiting are past.
A half a world away,
so many miles to bring you home at last.
My little one, my precious joy,
you're finally home to stay.
My precious daughter, my little girl,
we celebrate this day.
Knowing we will no longer be
a half a world away.
An invisible red thread connects those who are destined
to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break.
-An Ancient Chinese Belief
