A Baby's Love

Sophie Jae (with Mom & Dad)

In the midst of life’s confusions

Growing stronger every day,

The devilish intrusions

Never seem to go away.

Then the Lord sends down a precious gift

To blossom before our eyes

And give our hearts a love-filled lift

When we hear those first little cries.

“Mommy, hold me in your arms

Snug against your chest.

Keep me from the worldly harms

So that I may rest.

I’m just a tiny baby still,

A gift from God above.

I’ll cling to you – oh yes I will –

And give a baby’s love.”

“Daddy, standing full of pride

And smile upon your face,

Your joy I feel. It’s hard to hide

Because it spreads from place to place.

I’m glad to be your little boy,

Pure as a snow-white dove.

I will return your gift of joy

In the form of a baby’s love.”

“I’m God’s little pilgrim

In wild and wicked lands,

But as I learn to follow Him,

My life is in your hands.

I don’t have much to offer you.

Greater help may be thought of.

But you will know before I’m through

The warmth of a baby’s love.”
