A BABY'S SECRET
I'm just a little feller
Who didn't quite make it there
I went straight to be with Jesus
But I'm waiting for you here
Dont' you worry about me, Mommy
I'm of all God's lambs most blest
I'd have loved to stay there with you
But the Shepherd knows what's best.
Many dwelling here where I live
Waited years to enter in
Struggled through a world of sorrow
And their lives were marred by sin
So, sweet Mommy, don't you sorrrow
Wipe those tears and chase the gloom
I went straight to Jesus' bosom
From my lovely Mother's womb.
Thank you for the life you gave me
It was brief, but don't complain
I have all of heaven's glory
Suffered none of earthlings' pain
Thank you for the name you gave me
I'd have loved to bring it fame
But if I'd lingered in earth's shadow
Might, instead, have brought it shame
Daddy gave me something for you
It's our secret, Mommy dear
Pressed it light against my forehead
Whispered in my tiny ear
I'll be waiting for you Mommy
You and Daddy, Bud and Sis
I'll be with you then forever
Then I'll give you Daddy's kiss.
