Elliana's Song

Each time I have been pregnant, I have thought about this song when I have thought about the possibility of having a daughter. I think it is such a beautiful song. For the first time a few days ago, I listened to it with Clara in my arms. I cried and thanked God, all the while praising Him for entrusting me with the enormous responsibility of raising a daughter.

The lyrics:

Baby woman, tiny in stature now
But your heart is a treasure
Little princess come follow behind me now
I am reaching for you

Elliana, God has answered my prayers
Elliana, God will conquer my fears
To mother a daughter, to look you in the eye
To know that I had everything, to walk with you in life
To give you to Jesus that He would impart
The wisdom that I'm longing for to mother your heart
Elliana, God has answered my prayers

There will be others to lead and to guide you girl
But only one you'll call Mother, the honor is all mine
To show you what a woman's like
I'm so glad you're mine
 
Tenderness of God is twirling around
In our living room tonight
Lighten up your daddy's eyes
And know that he just wants to freeze you in time

You Never Change

I'm absolutely loving the Sons and Daughters album from Sovereign Grace Music. One song in particular is really ministering to my heart right now. It's "You Never Change" and I wanted to share the lyrics, as well as a place to sample it.
