My Father's Bigger than Yours Late yesterday afternoon In the sandbox back in the yard I heard my son's angry words to his friend, They sounded unusually hard "My Father's Bigger than Yours, My Father's stronger than Yours My Father Loves us more than anyone can My Father's bigger than yours" I sat him down by my side, in the Shade in the late of the day I told him that I thought his Words were unkind Said that it wasn't God's way Those words could only be true Of our Father in Heaven above And I sent him back to play with his friends Reminding him of my love But I thought to myself: "My Father's Bigger than Yours, My Father's stronger than Yours My Father Loves us more than anyone can My Father's bigger than yours" A year or more after the day child supposed to be born A baby sister for a waiting son A child that didn't come home The days became endless to bear Each moment made out of lead One day my little boy climbed in our laps These were the words that he said, "Since our baby didn't come home Everyday you both have been sad Mommy don't cry, You still have me My baby's gone home to her Dad. "Her Father's bigger than yours Her Father's stronger than yours Her Father loves her more than anyone can Her Father's bigger than yours Our Father who art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done My Father's Bigger than yours. © 1985 E.

In His Loving Arms Was a bright and shining morning Just before an hour of storming Skies grew gray A baby born in Just the time to say Goodbye IN HER ARMS A baby sleeping In her eyes A mother's weeping In her heart A voice was crying Stay forever in my arms Little one Two hearts were broken Not a single word was spoken Small red rose The only token Taken from her loving arms When we're in our ever after I look forward to the laughter Of a small one Held in rapture Safe forever in His Arms. Though the cradle now Is empty Grief an ever-present sentry Still I know You are smiling Cradled in His Loving Arms Chorus

The Smallest Lullaby I know a child is just a promise Know that God can take or give Takes more than all of our learning What it really means to live Still when dawn gives way to evening And the shadows fall nearby To a child of several moments Goes the Smallest Lullaby Chorus Listen baby To your mother God is near In Heaven High Just a song to say I love you Just the smallest lullaby. My days without smallest wonders I will have to walk alone I take comfort in a memory And the hope that you are home If from heaven you can see Tears as gifts for you, I cry I will walk a little farther In the smallest lullaby Chorus: Sing and Pray and stay till morning I'll reach Heaven by and by But for now, my heart will heal In the smallest lullaby.
