The One You Have Chosen For Me

Who is this little girl of mine

Her face I cannot see

And yet I feel I know her soul

And I know that she knows me

I cannot help but ask, Lord

Just why You have chosen me

To receive such a precious life

The one You have chosen for me

So until I touch her little face

And kiss her soft sweet cheeks

I lay here and wonder

Just why You trusted me enough

To loan this little one to me

I pray to always remember

The questions I ponder this eve

To do my very best

Your plan for her life to heed

And return to You one day

The child You gave to me

The special young lady

You knew that she would be.
