From God's Arms to My Arms to Yours

So this is one of my fave songs. I wanted to sing it at Eden's entrustment ceremony, but unfortunately, I couldn't get the music in time. This applies to what Denise and I were talking about earlier so I thought I'd share. Denise, I definitely thought of you at the kiss part! I can only hope that Mandy tells Eden how much I love her every day. Denise, thanks so much for being here to listen to me tonight. It meant the world to me. I don't know what I'd do without you. Especially our late night chats! You are such an amazing woman and I owe so much to you. You've given me strength, love, courage, and friendship. I treasure each and every moment I've been able to share with you. I await the day where I will be blessed with meeting you, Jeff, and Ariana. Your family is so gorgeous! Thanks for all you do for me. I love the pic you created for me tonight. It was so perfect! I love you Denise!

With so many wrong decisions in my past, I'm not quite sure.
If I can ever hope to trust my judgement anymore.
But lately I've been thinking, 'cause it's all I've had to do.
And in my heart I feel that I should give this child to you.

[Chorus]
And maybe, you can tell your baby when you love him so that he's been loved before.
By someone who delivered your son, From God's arms to my arm's to yours.
Now if you choose to tell him and if he wants to know.
How the one who gave him life could bear to let him go.
Just tell him there were sleepless nights I prayed and paced the floors.
And knew the only peace I'd find is if this child was yours.

{Repeat Chorus}

Now I know you don't have to do this, but could you kiss him once for me?
The first time that he ties his shoes or falls and skins his knee,
And could you hold him twice as long when he makes his mistakes.
Tell him that he's not alone, sometimes that's all it takes -
I know how much he'll ache.

This may not be the answer for another girl like me.
And I'm not on a soapbox saying how we all should be.
I'm just trusting in my feelings and I'm trusting God above.
And I'm trusting you can give our baby both his mother's love.

{Repeat Chorus}
