Goodbye for Now Sweet Baby

Even at 15 weeks, I was hesitant to announce you for fear of losing you. But I have lost you anyway. I loved you fully already, amazed at your little life. I imagined who you would be and your relationships with your sister, brothers, and cousins of the same age. I saw your fingers today and your sweet little head. The doctor said it looked like you were a boy. I think you would have been a joy in our family, and we are so very sad to not meet you here with us. Now you are whole in heaven with our savior. You are full and rich and blessed. I feel comfort in knowing where you are, and that I will meet you some day. Some day, I will see you and know you. Until then, we'll miss you and celebrate the little life you had in the womb.

Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful Where Your streams of abundance flow Blessed be Your name And blessed be Your name when I'm found in the desert place Though I walk through the wilderness Blessed be Your name Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise And when the darkness closes in, Lord Still I will say Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your name Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your glorious name Blessed be Your name when the sun's shining down on me When the world's "all as it should be" Blessed be Your name And blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering Though there's pain in the offering Blessed be Your name You give and take away You give and take away My heart will choose to say Lord, blessed be Your name Blessed be Your Name Written by Beth Redman & Matt Redman
