Baby Mark
A couple had a baby son
Their hearts were filled with joy
But fate would rear it’s ugly head
It involved their baby boy
I’m lending you this baby
But he’s MY CHILD is what God said
For you to love while he’s alive
And mourn for when he’s dead.
It may not be for very long
But look after him for me
Until I decide to call him home
Whenever that might be
His love will brighten up your life
Even if his stay is brief
At least you’ll have his memory
As solace for your grief.
I’ve searched the whole world over
To find a couple who
Could be trusted with his care
And so I’ve chosen you.
So will you give him all your love
Or think it all in vain
And turn against Me when I come
To take him back again?
This all really happened
I’m sorry to relate
To a Souper family member
Back in 1958.
This tribute is to Mark
to his family I attest
his soul is safe in Gods great hands
and he's at eternal rest.
Dedicated to Bob, Vera and family.
