What I know now
You never would have died.
I'd have held you close
And nutured you
And kept you by my side.
I'd have sung you songs
And treasured you
More than silver
More than gold:
But this song is all I have to give
To the babe I'll never hold.
That hasn't been a praise
To the Lord Who wept and mourned with me
And held me through those days.
And Jesus, now I'm asking,
I know you hear my plea,
Won't You take that child, in Your Hands
And hold my babe for me.
What I know now
You never would have died.
I'd have held you close
And nutured you
And kept you by my side.
