If I could, I would
hold every baby
Embrace every mama
wipe every tear.
If I could, I would
be a safe haven
to all who need it
And as they came in,
I’d be whispering, Life!
Life isn’t only possible…
It’s what we’re made for.
And Someone has said
that the best way to keep it
Is to give it away.
To mother is a gift
A gift, and not a curse
To know that something you’ve helped make will outlive you.
To know that someone you have loved will love you back.
If I could, I would
Fix it.
But until that day, Lord,
Until that Day when You fix everything…
Would You hold the babies?
Would You whisper Life to the mothers?
Would You gather us under Your arms…
Would You pursue and chase the one?
And would You show us how to help
Would You show us how to give
How to love
How to lay down our lives
Like You.
