VERSE 1 (Birth Mother)
When I found out about you, it all felt so wrong
Choosing to give you life, I had to be strong
Unsure of your future and what I should do
I cannot keep you, I want the best for you
I cling to the promise that God will hold onto me
Now my heart is breaking as I wait to set you free
CHORUS Child of my heart,
You have always been a part of meVERSE 2 (Adoptive Mother)
I've prayed for this moment, I've waited so long
Yearning to meet you, and sing you your song
Perfectly made, softness to hold,
My gift from heaven, my heart overflows
As she felt you grow inside, Your life was a mystery
Now I'll watch you grow in life, As He holds your destiny
CHORUS Child of my heart,
You have always been a part of meBRIDGE
B: So I give you to the One who knows your name
A: And I give you to the One who formed your frame
both: And I give you all that I can give to you
B: In the end I have to give you up to Him
A: From the start I will give you up to Him
(both)
