Motherhood… a gift from heaven,

From a newborn’s gentle breath

to playful laughter..

Oh, how I long for it to be me…

To feel a life growing inside of me.

Oh God, I cry each day for Your blessing in my life,

Just to hold a newborn close..

A child that carries part of me…

I cannot find a place to hide

From the ache of being barren…

Their words cut deep and quietly

A silent ache I cannot hide.

So I fall to You on bended knee,

With a trembling heart, 

I vow before Your holy name

I love You, Lord… and 

If You place this gift inside of me,

I’ll hold him close… 

And honor you and give him back to Thee.

Oh Heavenly Father, 

With tear filled eyes,

I whisper low… my plea…

I will cherish every breath he takes..

You can trust this heart in me.

Let me hear my baby’s cry,

That once lived deep inside…

Let me hold this answered prayer,

With Your love, I’ll hold him there…

Samuel… his name will be…

A gift returned in love to Thee…

My answered prayer… my offering…

My baby Samuel…

My gift from Heaven you will be… 

Oh Lord, a mother

is everything I want to be, 

Samuel, my precious 

baby from thee ….
