For My Sister

Our God is an awesome God.
He reigns from Heaven above with
wisdom,
power,
& LOVE.
Our God is an awesome God.

On July first, 2003
He knew.
He loved.
He cared.
His heart broke.
He was there.
He held you.
He held Caylin.

Today, July first, 2010
He knows.
He loves.
He cares.
His heart still breaks.
He remembers.
He holds you.
He holds Caylin.


This song always reminds me of you, sister.


Two months is too little.
They let her go
They had no sudden healing.
To think that providence
Would take a child from her mother
While she prays, is appalling.
Who told us we'd be rescued?
What has changed and
Why should we be saved from nightmares?
We're asking why this happens to us
Who have died to live, it's unfair.

This is what it means to be held.
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held.

This hand is bitterness,
We want to taste it and
Let the hatred numb our sorrows.
The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow.

This is what it means to be held.
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held.

If hope is born of suffering,
If this is only the beginning,
Can we not wait, for one hour
Watching for our savior?

This is what it means to be held.
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held.

This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held.

This is what it means to be held...

I love you, sister.
I love you, Caylin.
I am thankful to God for holding you both.

Happy Birthday Caylin Grace.

Our God is an awesome God.
He reigns from Heaven above with
wisdom,
power,
& LOVE.
Our God is an awesome God.

Song:  Held
