Heaven In My Arms

Who has lit the starlight that shines so bright in your

eyes?

Who has lit the darkness for the shepherds on this

night?

Who has placed the straw crown that sits upon your

small brow?

Who has brought the wise men to the stable, precious

child?

Are you one of many more or the one they're waiting

for?

You my little child so close to my heart

Have I given you in birth to be the treasure of the

earth?

Are you truly heaven laying cradle in my arms?

Why the tears you're crying? What has made you

frightened?

Why do your tiny fingers hold so tightly momma's hair?

See the dancing shadows, feel how soft the wind blows

It's following an angel that was only just there

Are you one of many more or the one they're waiting

for?

You my little child so close to my heart

Have I given you in birth to be the treasure of the

earth?

Are you truly heaven laying cradle in my arms?

May you greet all others as sisters and as brothers

And may you be received with only love and gentleness

Wherever time may take you I will not forsake you

Grant this mother's prayer that your days of mirth be

blessed

Are you one of many more or the one they're waiting

for?

You my little child so close to my heart

Have I given you in birth to be the treasure of the

earth?

Are you truly heaven laying cradle in my arms?

Who has lit the starlight that's shining bright in your

eyes?

Shining like a diamond over little Bethlehem
