The Lord rejoices so-
In the beauty of your eyes;
Like the glory of creation,
As the stars above on high,



Arms to enfold you,
To warmly love you so;
Words of love to touch you,
And free you ‘til you know.



Your Heavenly Father thought of you,
Before the world began;
Each detail of your life,
Its length and depth did span.



With tenderness and compassion,
He walks with you each mile;
Eager to embrace you,
And see your lovely smile.



With blessing and forgiveness,
He longs to hear you say;
That you will always love Him,
And be with Him each new day!



He grieves when you get hurt,
When sorrows grip your precious heart;
He longs to soothe and heal you,
And do His loving part.



To see you grow in Christ,
With gifts to help your brother;
To let your light so shine,
Your joy being like no other!



I’m proud to be your friend,
And always trust in you;
Believing for God’s very best,
His love in all you do!



Hope these words have touched your heart,
To know that God is with you;
Reach to feel His arms of Love,
To bless and guard and keep you!
