From God's Arms, To My Arms,
To Yours
So many wrong decisions
in my past, I’m not quite sure.
If I could ever hope to trust
my judgement anymore.
But lately, I’ve been thinking
Cause it’s all I’ve had to do
And in my heart I feel that I
Should give this child to you.
And maybe, you can
tell your baby
When you love him so
that he’s been loved before
By someone who delivered your son
From God’s arms,
to my arms, to yours.
And if you choose to tell him,
and if he wants to know
How the one who gave him life,
could bare to let him go.
Just tell him there
were sleepless nights
I prayed and paced the floors
I knew the only peace I’d find
was if this child was yours.
And maybe you
can tell your baby
When you love him so
that he’s been loved before
By someone who
delivered your son
From God’s arms,
to my arms, to yours.
Now I know you
don’t have to do this
But could you kiss
him once for me
The first time that
he ties his shoes
Or falls and skins his knee
And could you hold
him twice as long
When he makes his first mistake
And tell him that he’s not alone
Sometimes that’s all it takes.
I know how much he’ll ache.
This may not be the answer
for another girl like me
And I’m not on a soapbox
saying how we all should be
I’m just trusting in my feelings,
And I’m trusting God above
And I’m trusting
you can give this baby
Both his mothers’ love.
And maybe you
can tell your baby
When you love him so
that he’s been loved before
By someone who
delivered your son
From God’s arms,
to my arms, to yours.
From God’s arms
To my arms,
to yours.
