A Prayer For Faith
 
You sent a child to me to fill my life with joy,
and only you knew which was best, a little girl or boy.  Somehow I took for granted, that we would have a lifetime,
And I made so many future plans for that precious child of mine.  Mesmerized by that miracle, caught up in each new day,
I guess I didn't hear you Lord, when you said, "This one can't stay."  I trust you Lord, your will, not mine, yet I can't understand,
this sudden loss, the emptiness, caused by another's hand.  I know my child's an angel now, but my heart is aching so,
I'm sorry I wasn't ready, to let my baby go.  There wasn't time for one last hug, and there was no final kiss.  Oh God, it's all those special smiles, that I already miss.
So Lord, could you do just one thing for me especially?
Please hold my angel close to you and say goodbye for me.
She�s Gone
 
It can�t be true, I remember saying,
 I got down on my knees and started praying;
�Lord, please don�t take her, we need her still�
but the Lord replied,
�But child it is not of your will�
I had to put my trust in him as he said he�s made a place for my baby girl;
I grabbed my daughter�s hand and wiped the tears from my face.
So instead of going shopping with her to buy her pretty thing ,
I get to buy her a dress to be buried in.
She knew that I loved her and she knew that I cared,  
and God has taken her in his loving arms and in heaven she�ll be shared.
I can feel her looking down on me as her body lies here cold,
I can�t help but think of the things she�ll miss because she�ll never grow old;
She�ll never say her first word, take her first step,
she�ll never graduate high school or move away from home,
She�ll never have her own little baby or visit Paris or Rome,
She�ll never marry her sweetheart, but she�ll also never be hungry or cold again.
She�ll have plenty of angels she can call her friends
She�ll never grow old she�ll always have her beauty and her grace
My sweet and precious Faith was only two weeks old when she passed away,
But now, I have a Precious angels shining down on me from heaven above
So I may cry and I may weep for I have lost my baby Faith
But we will be together again someday,
for the Lord has saved me a place right next to my sweet and precious Faith.
So goodnight baby girl, be in peace and go take God�s hand, and don�t worry
Mommy will see you really soon,
when he calls me to promise land.
To my precious Faith
