Lyrics
Vs. 1:
One day you might ask me, what was my first mommy like?
Do you think my parents loved me? Do I have my daddy?s eyes?
But all the reasons and explanations may not satisfy;
So I?ll hold you close and pray you feel all this love I have inside.
Refrain: Child of my heart, child of my love;
Specially chosen; no accident; sent from God above.
You?re the child of my heart,
and what a precious one you are!
You may not be the child of my blood,
But you?re the child of my heart.
Vs. 2:
In the summer we?ll go fishing,
Just you, your momma and me;
And we?ll plan a trip to grandma?s house,
And all the places we will see.
You may have sailed some stormy seas
Before you reached this shore,
But by the grace of God, with all we?ve got,
We?re gonna? love you all the more.
REFRAIN: Child of OUR hearts?.
Bridge:
May the questions that you ponder never cause your heart to fear;
And though it?s natural to wonder, I pray this fact is clear:
Refrain:
You?re the child of my heart, child of my love;
Specially chosen; no accident; sent from God above.
Child of my heart, and what a precious one you are!
You may not be the child of my blood,
But you?re the child of my heart.
