Darling daughter with softest skin
Dimpled in knee and fist and chin,
With delicate pink your two lips glow
With rosy hue that blossoms and grows.
Your father and I look on you now
With joy only fearful thanks can allow.
To us is given your care for time,
Commissioned to raise you to know the Sublime.
King of kings and Lord of Lords
The God and Father
As the Spirit Shows.
And how will we carry this fearsome task?
With a trepidation that holds us fast.
By the power of Grace from the Spirit given,
And the sacrifice of him whose life was forsaken.
Forsaken to give us the power to Love,
A daughter so sweet, sent to us from above.
God's grace is evident even as I write,
As your daddy looks on you with tender might.
From the: King of kings and Lord of Lords
And the God and Father
As the Spirit shows.
As I ready for sleep I kneel and pray,
"Oh God, let my daughter love you even today!"
May she follow your word and love your Son,
That great faith may through many generations run.
Protect her, Lord, keep her safe I pray,
But more than all that may she "trust and obey."'
Trust in your Son for Salvation from Sin,
Obey you forever with freedom in Him.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
God and Father, as the Spirit Shows.
Oh God, how I long to see her safe and at rest
But more than all this that she give you her best.
Make her life a reflection of your Holy Son.
May her life for you finish with the words: "Oh well done!"
Help us to teach her your glorious Love,
And help us to mirror true faith from above.
This task is too great for us to carry alone,
Guide us in Grace oh Great God that we own.
Our Great King of kings and Lord of Lords,
Lamb of God upon the Throne.
Father in Heaven, our Eternal Joy.
Spirit who turns all our sorrow to Joy.
