Lyrics: 1. Dearest child of mine I love you
Much more than you'll ever know
Precious child of mine I am watching you
Each day I see you grow
Loving child of mine I hear you
Each moment as you pray
Peaceful child of mine I will speak to you
Please hear all that I say
CHORUS: Wondrous child of mine I plead to you
For you my Son I did give
Heavenly child of mine I seek for you
Follow me and live
2. Patient child of mine I wait for you
I ache to hold you near
Glorious child of mine I'll protect you
And take away all your fear
Humble child of mine I trust in you
My offspring you surely are
Faithful child of mine I'll walk with you
From you I'm never far
CHORUS
3. Child of mine you're a child of mine
This one great truth you must see
That all I do is just for you
Please child love me
CHORUS
Follow me and live Story:
"Child Of Mine (God's Lullaby)" (Fall 2007)
It is an honor to put to music some poetry of my friend (and 2nd counselor in my bishopric) Joe Olivas of St. George, UT. He is a man of God, one of the finest brothers I have ever met. Although I have a good inch on him (which is saying something!), I look up to him in every way. This website would not be what it is today without his vision. In my mind I imagine the context of this song being the premortal existence. My loving Father takes me in His arms one last time before sending me on my way to the world of corruption, so He sings His final lullaby, telling me He'll always be there. Then off I go, into the loving arms of a mother who sings yet another lullaby. I love the intimacy of the words. Thank you Joe! :)
