My Blue Eyed Baby Girl

My Blue Eyed Baby Girl

To my blue eyed baby girl,
Who arrived in this world not long ago
At first, I didn't know what to expect 
But the moment I heard you cry 
My undreamt dreams became dreams set in stone
For you to never shed another tear
And always smile from ear to ear
For your spirit to never fear... the dark
And in this dark and broken place we live
I hope to teach you to learn, trust and depend
On the One who can renew us from... our sin
He'll make us new again
I pray that you will come to know the King              
And learn to love unconditionally
I pray that you will come to know the King
And learn to live this life abundantly
    
To my blue eyed baby girl,
I thought I knew the depths of love 
But then you flashed that toothless smile in my direction
You melted my heart like butter in the microwave  
Gave me new perception on everything
Chambers of Love in my heart 
Replaced pride that was there... before you
These chambers let love flood right in 
For you, your mother and the One who knew no sin
It showed me just how truly deep the Father's love is
Our Father's love is pure
And in Him we are secured
I pray that you will come to know the King              
And learn to love unconditionally
I pray that you will come to know the King
And learn to live this life abundantly
         
To my blue eyed baby girl,
One day you will realize that you too are a sinner 
And I'll be there to speak life into your empty heart
This is where the Spirit will intervene 
My prayers will be answered and He will reveal the King
My undreamt dreams this day will come true    
 He has great plans for you 
My prayer that you will come to know the King              
And learn to love unconditionally
My prayer that you will come to know the King
And learn to live this life abundantly
Will be answered
   
To my blue eyed baby girl,
One day together we will never shed another tear 
We will always smile from ear to ear  
There will be no more darkness for us to fear
His light will shine clear
And at the foot of our King
We will live together inside of eternity
