Baby Jesus

You held my life in your hand There I was in your palm as a child I’ve never felt such a warm embrace I’ve never since, such love from your grace I remember very little from those nappy days But I know you did everything to make them Such happy days You hold my hand now in yours A firm grip, and still a loving gaze And I now comprehend For the road ahead in a gruelling test Your love will carry me on this treacherous quest Man is a creature of habit and not easily swayed But Father please forgive them And love them as you did your only child
