Heartstrings

Lyrics

My child inside, I love you I'm asking through the tears That God will grant me wisdom Way beyond my years Because your life is precious And the best for you is in store I pull upon my heartstrings Until they finally tore And I prayed and I cried And because I love you so, I'm letting go To trust the One I know for sure I'll place you in the Father's hands The only One who'll ever love you more You were the miracle we prayed for That we could not have had ourselves You brought us joy and happiness And a love we'd never felt How we cherished every moment Then we looked up and you were grown Never knew this day would come so soon Oh, how the years have flown And we laughed and we cried And how it hurts us so to let you go So much life for you in store We'll place you in the Father's hands The only One who'll ever love you more And the hardest part of living Is giving back what we've been given Each gift from God is only yours and mine For a time So we laugh and we cry And the hardest part of life is letting go To trust the One we know for sure He'll hold us safely in His hands 'Cause no one else will ever love us more Oh, He'll hold you safely His hands 'Cause no one else will ever love you more
