Walk Tall.

The other night while I was feeding Ada a song popped into my head that I used to sing in Young Womens. I hadn't heard it for a long time and sang the chorus to her, but I couldn't remember all the verses. I looked up the words afterwards, and I have tried to re-learn them and sing them to my little angel. I changed some words to fit her situation, but the message is still the same. Powerful. And so important. When I sing it to her I can't help but tear up. I thought I'd post the words in case there's anyone out there that hasn't heard it:

Right now I have a prayer deep within my heart,
A prayer {just for you whose life is at the start}.
That you remember who you are and He who lives above.
Please seek for him and live his way; You'll feel his love.

Walk tall, you're a daughter, a child of God,
Be strong and remember who you are,
Try to understand, you're part of his great plan.
He's closer than you know, Reach up; he'll take your hand.

Right before the time you can remember,
Our Father held you in his arms so tender.
Those loving arms released you as he sent you down to earth.
He said, "My child, I love you. Don't forget your great worth."

This life on earth we knew would not be easy.
At times we lose our way his path we may not see.
But remember always that you are not alone.
He'll take your hand, He loves you! He will guide you home.
My little Angel. :)

Yes I LOVE that song! I was all teary-eyed reading :) I don't have any daughters to sing it to yet, maybe somehow I can change it to fit for my boys too! Thanks for sharing that :)

This is one of my favorites! I sing it to Zac all the time but sing "son" instead of daughter ;)
