I’ll never forget that moment
When I first laid eyes on my son.
Our firstborn, the one we’d waited for,
And he made us very proud.
I was at his mother’s side,
The tears flowed down our cheeks.
This miracle I was holding
I could never explain how formed.
And yet I know that God had said,
We are all fearfully and wonderfully made.
He was indeed a miracle from God.
As I stood there I whispered… “Thank you.”
Not too many hours later
As I cradled our newborn gift,
I looked into his quiet little face
And I asked him what he was going to be.
He laid there silently in my arms
His eyes closed in peaceful sleep.
I loved our wonderful gift from above
With a love I had not known.
I counted fingers and toes to see that all were there.
I hugged and kissed him, put his tiny hand in mine.
It was at that moment I at last awakened
To the most precious gift from God—His Son.
I would not—could not give that child for anyone.
Not a single soul is worthy.
How could God, who loves so much more than I
Give His Son’s life for me?
O great God, I at last perceive how much
Your heart was broken, that day at Calvary.
I began to ponder in my heart
How could there be a father anywhere
Who could not see the great sacrifice?
The tears flowed down my cheek again,
Our heavenly Father loves us so.
