Day 1: a song.

I think the song that reminds me most of Lilly is "Glory Baby".

I've said before that for the last few weeks before I went on bed rest... all I listened to in my car was my Watermark CD.

I listened to the song "Glory Baby" over and over again. And don't know why. Looking back, it should have upset me...scared me. But it didn't. I remember thinking about how beautiful the song was.

As the nurse walked me to the operating room for my c-section, this song was running through my head. I knew in that instant that I wanted it to be played at her funeral...below are 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…



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…
