He knew me before He formed me
Numbered my days
Set out a path and a story
and guarded my ways
He set me in secret -
A life with a plan
And gave me a purpose
while in this land
And there in that place -
covered in love
I spent my days in joy
until I went above.
I heard my mother's prayer
and felt her gentle hand
As she thanked the Lord
for this life He had planned
I heard my brothers' giggles
so exited I was there
I heard my sisters' whisper
with gentle love and care
I heard my father's blessings
spoken each and every night
and imagined his face
even before I had sight
I longed to let them know
the love that I knew
In this secret, sweet place
where I quietly grew
I felt my mother's heart break
watched it shatter all around
As I stepped from this life
to heaven's sacred ground
I could not leave a note,
a word, or a touch
to let them know
I loved them so much
But as I walked forward
into my new place
I saw Jesus reach out
and extend peace and grace
I saw Him gather tears
and bless each one
I heard Him whisper to them
"I'll take care of your son"
So one day I'll meet them
Here on heaven's shore
and tell them I love them
and so much more.
