Dearest Mommy and Daddy, dearest Aunties and Uncles, dearest Grammies and Grandpas...my heart truly knows your pain. I walked through this valley five years ago, and if I learned anything that I can teach you, it would be my privilege to pass it on to you. It's your journey now, but you do not travel alone. Remember that the same God you glorified the day Karissa was born, is the same God who loved and supported you through the health problems and diagnoses, is the same God who holds you now.
This song holds me up. I pray it does the same for you.
Glory Baby
by Watermark
Glory Baby, You slipped away
As fast as we could say "baby"
You were growing, what happened, dear?
You disappeared on us baby, baby
Heaven will hold you before we do
Heaven will keep you safe
Until we're home with you
But we'll miss you everyday, we'll miss you in every way
But we know there's a day when we will hold you
And you'll kiss our tears away, when we're home to stay
We can't wait for the day when we will see you
But baby, let sweet Jesus hold you
Until mom and dad can hold you
You'll just have heaven before we do
You'll just have heaven before we do
Sweet little baby, it's hard to understand it
'Cause we are hurting, we are hurting
But there is healing, and we know we're stronger people
Through the growing, and in knowing
All things work together for our good
And God works His purposes
Just like He said he would
I can't imagine heaven's lullabies
And what they must sound like
But I can rest in knowing that heaven is your home
And it's all you'll ever know, all you'll ever know
We miss you everyday, we'll miss you in every way
But we know there's a day when we will hold you
And you'll kiss our tears away, when we're home to stay
We can't wait for the day when we will see you
But baby, let sweet Jesus hold you
Until mom and dad can hold you
You'll just have heaven before we do
You'll just have heaven before we do
