The anguish of suffering a miscarriage stays with you forever. The pain might subside to a certain degree but it will always remain with you deep down inside. You always think about how things could’ve been, what milestone you would’ve celebrated had your baby lived. Yes, it’s a torturous game that parents play but we can’t help it. For some reason, it helps with the healing.
The other thing that seems to give some semblance of peace is music like the wonderful “Glory Baby” by Watermark.
The song is a beautiful tune in and of itself, but when you add in the lyrics and the message of the song then it makes it extra special. It’s become a powerful anthem for all parents that have endured the devastation of losing a child.
If you go to Youtube or do a search on google for Glory Baby you will be amazed by all of the results that you see. There are countless precious souls out there who’ve used this song as their tribute to their lost little angels. It truly is a touching and heart-breaking experience. Here are some of the tributes followed by the lyrics.
GLORY BABY by Watermark
Glory baby you slipped away as fast as we could say baby…baby..
You were growing, what happened dear?
You disappeared on us baby…baby..
Heaven will hold you before we do
Heaven will keep you safe until we’re home with you…
Until we’re home with you…
Miss you everyday
Miss you in every way
But we know there’s a
day when we will hold you
We will hold you
You’ll kiss our tears away
When we’re home to stay
Can’t wait for the day when we will see you
We will see you
But baby let sweet Jesus hold you
‘till mom and dad can hold you…
You’ll just have heaven before we do
You’ll just have heaven before we do
Sweet little babies, it’s hard to
understand it ‘cause we’re hurting
We are hurting
But there is healing
And we know we’re stronger people through the growing
And in knowing-
That all things work together for our good
And God works His purposes just like He said He would…
Just like He said He would…
BRIDGE:
I can’t imagine heaven’s lullabies
and what they must sound like
But I will rest in knowing, heaven is your home
And it’s all you’ll ever know…all you’ll ever know…
Note: There are many excellent online support sites that can help the healing process.
