I will carry you

A friend of mine has given me the link to her husband's cousin's blog. M is going through a trial no mother should. She knows that her baby has a problem and the doctors do not think that her baby will live much longer in the womb and they feel certain if she does carry this sweet baby to term, the baby will not live outside the womb. I have been praying for them since we first learned this news several weeks back. It breaks my heart for them. With both my losses, I didn't know until it was too late. I didn't carry my baby after knowledge like this. I didn't bear this burden on my shoulders daily. I know that I'm on vacation and the postings should be light and filled with fun, but I read her blog today and just moved right over to my own to post this. Please pray for M and her baby and her family. She posted this song. I've not heard it yet but I plan to get the CD asap. I cried while reading these words. Get your kleenex out, if you're going to read along...


I Will Carry You from the CD Selah- You Deliver Me

There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?
People say that I am brave, but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this

So I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One who's chosen me
To Carry YOU

Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But i know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says...

I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted sea
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?

I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And I will praise the One who's chosen me
To carry You
