Cradle Song

I watch beside your cradle Your face touched by the moon My heart just aches and trembles With all my love for you Your eyes shine like your father's That nose looks just like me I stare in awe and wonder At such a mystery How God can touch The love of a man and wife And blossom it Into the breath of life Just look at this life Our eyes are filled with dreaming We want so much for you But we might fail you often Before your life is through Only your Heavenly Father Can hear your every prayer When we are just a memory Your Lord will still be there So on our knees We pray this cradle song That you'll always know The Lord will keep you strong We want you to understand You rest in His loving hands For you are Jesus' little lamb
