From the Heart of a Deaf Child
What a welcome I received when I arrived on earth
People all around the world were excited by my birth
After nine long months of growing the day finally came
For me to make my entrance and receive a brand new name
Everyone was happy their hearts were filled with cheer
Until the doctor told them that I couldn't hear
All the joy I had seen when I came into the light
Was now interrupted by faces filled with fright
My parents could not hold back tears
But I could clearly see
They didn't care that I was deaf
I knew they wanted me
They knew that God had special plans
To use me like I am
Whether I can hear or not I'm still His little lamb
As I grow up in the world as hard as it may be
I know the Lord is on my side and He will help me see
That I'm a special masterpiece created out of love
Sent to earth to fulfill the plans of God above
Even though I can't hear I'm as special as can be
And with God's help I'll do my best to make you proud of me
