I wrote this lullaby when Jack was born (If you've been paying attention- I'm not posting these in the order that they were written.) On most days at around 12:30 or so I take Jack out onto the front porch where there is a swing, and I sing him to sleep. Incidentally, it is the very same swing that Sarah and I were sitting on as teenagers when I first confessed my love to her. So on most days Jack and I have a nice swing for about five minutes or so and then I lay him down inside. I filmed this video from Jack's perspective on the swing.
Are my nostrils really that big? Is that really a booger?
Enjoy!!!
**********
An eye! An eye!
With which to spy
The wonders God has made.
In birds in flight
And firelight
His handiwork's displayed.
*
An ear! An ear!
With which to hear
Of Christ who loves you so
Who gave His life
In sacrifice
To make us white as snow!
*
A hand! A hand!
Which God has planned
For use in helping men.
In all you do
He asks of you
Do it as unto Him.
*
A foot! A foot!
Which you should put
Upon the narrow way-
To live for Him
And flee from sin
Each and every day!
*
A voice! A voice!
How I'll rejoice!
How happy I will be
To hear you say,
"Lord, come what may,
Your follower I will be."

Josh-
I really love these...
and I, too, hope you don't mind that they are now being used in our home in WNY.
