Lullaby of Love August 10, 2006

One of my favorite ministries (if that is the right word) of all time is Above Rubies. The magazines have encouraged me beyond understanding. The books have changed my life. The retreats and family camps have helped me to become who I am today. Nancy Campbell is truly a Titus 2 woman. She is a blessing to meet and to hear speak. You can just see the love of God through her life and hear it as she speaks. It is amazing. If you ever have the chance to go to a retreat- GO! Or order a book, check out the articles online, sign up for the free magazines. Whatever. But let me warn you- if you are open to it it will change your life!

Her two daughters used to sing in the band Considering Lily. Now they are Serene and Pearl and they sing at Above Rubies retreats. They have two awesome CD's that you can order at tea site. These are life-changing songs about mothering, being a wife, etc. Awesome. One song is called Lullaby of Love. Ever since my miscarriage has happened this song has been in my head. The lyrics are below but please click on the above Lullaby of Love link to read what Serene wrote about it. Let me tell you that it cannot describe my feelings any better.

By Serene Allison
LULLABY OF LOVE
Dedicated to our baby in Heaven

Baby. . .
I wish you could have stayed,
I miss you growing inside of me.
Baby. . .
I would have loved to have seen your face,
I want to hold you endlessly.

But even though I won't feel you in my arms
I hold your memory in my heart.

CHORUS:
And I'll sing with the angels
A lullaby of love,
And as you're soothed by feathered wings
In your cradle high above,
Hear my voice. . . your mother's lullaby of love.

Baby. . .
If I could only look in your eyes
And you could see mine shine with how much I adore you.
Baby. . .
Were they the color of your daddy's or mine?
And I know they had a beautiful hue.

I wonder what would have been your name,
But I'm so glad you came. . . for awhile. . .

CHORUS:
And I'll sing with the angels
A lullaby of love,
And as you're soothed by feathered wings
In your cradle high above
Hear my voice. . . your mother's lullaby of love.

BRIDGE:
One thing I know I haven't lost you,
You're with your Creator by a celestial stream,
You were made for heaven, darling,
One day I'll hold you and it won't be a dream.

CHORUS AGAIN.
