“Beloved and Blessed”

1 John 3:1, 4:7

“See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God.”

“Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.”

“Borning Cry”

(Jacque Darragh)

(God’s Love Song to His Beloved Children)

I was there to hear your borning cry,

I’ll be there when you are old.

I rejoiced the day you were baptized,

To see your life unfold.

I was there when you were but a child,

With faith to suit you well’

In a blaze of light you wandered off

To find where demons dwell.

When you heard the wonder of the Word

I was there to cheer you on;

You were raised to praise the living God,

To whom you now belong.

In the middle ages of your life,

Not too old, no longer young.

I’ll be there to guide you through the night,

Complete what I’ve begun.

When the evening gently closes in,

And you shut your weary eyes.

I’ll be there as I have always been

With just one more surprise.

I was there to hear your borning cry,

I’ll be there when you are old

I rejoiced the day you were baptized,

to see your life unfold.
