God's Precious Blessing

A newborn infant is a gift of God’s
Ten fingers and ten toes are so precious
There is no greater gift or sweet blessing

This treasured new life brings a blessing
Soft skin so smooth hints of a gift of God’s 
His hand is on this wonder so precious

Whispering intimacies so precious
Such a miracle sent down as blessing
A rare joy touches the hand of God’s

A bubbly baby, God’s precious blessing
