[Verse 1]

From heaven to her, a surprising start,

An instant takeover of my heart.

Each cell a roadmap of what’s to be:

Fingernail, eyelash, liver, and knee.

 

[Verse 2]

A tiny seed too small for eyes,

Miraculously magnified.

Poppy seed, lentil, cherry, lemon,

Daily growing to watermelon.

 

[Chorus]

The balm and solace to my soul

Is knowing that he'll still grow.

Because of Him who gives and takes,

I look to Him to heal life's breaks.

 

[Verse 3]

Dreams and wonder, firsts and fates

Hugs and giggles, could hardly wait.

One minute strong, the heart with beat,

Then sudden silence, loud as grief.

 

[Verse 4]

Hair like chestnut catching the sun.

Rosebud fingers, ten of them.

A little whiff of mortal power,

Gut wrenching way to spend an hour.

 

[Chorus]

The balm and solace to my soul

Is knowing that he'll still grow.

Because of Him who gives and takes,

I look to Him to heal life's breaks.

 

How does a mother comfort my girl,

who lost her only son?

Her nine-month hopes burned to dust

When death gave a surprising thrust.

(Never a love more painful than this.)

 

Are my beliefs only myths and fables?

Illusive treasures on a pirate’s table?

Grief's so costly, but trust is free.

I'll want the fruits of a living tree.

 

[Chorus]

The balm and solace to my soul

Is knowing that he'll still grow.

Because of Him who gives and takes,

I look to Him to heal life's breaks.

 

[Outro]

Her son will rise up from the dead,

And we will know him, as He Said.
