Elsa Joy (song series)


As I continue my song “revealing” series, I want to dedicate this post to my sweet little girl.  Part of the joy of being able to write a song is writing them for each of my kids (don’t worry Sam…yours will be posted later).  I then have the benefit of singing over them.  Many times it will be while I put them to bed or when they are suffering with a cold or fever.  I am overwhelmed with joy at looking into those sometimes heavy eyes and singing truth to their soul.  I almost get choked up thinking about some of the times I can wrap them up in my arms and rock them to sleep.  I will be the first to admit I don't take advantage of these times as often as I should and do regret some missed opportunities.  These moments will be gone so quickly and I can’t even believe how fast they truly fly! 

So, Elsa Joy, I love you more than words can express, and though you can’t read this or understand this fully, know you are precious to me and I couldn’t imagine my life without you! You are a gift from God and I am so thankful for you!

I want to thank everyone for listening and reading.  Know that this song is a rough draft only involving my voice, a guitar, and an iPad to record it. Hopefully soon it can be recorded with quality to do them justice.  In the meantime enjoy…

Sweet little girl here in my arms
I’m captivated by you
May you drift to dream under Heavens stars
with a peace known to so few

Be satisfied my Elsa Joy
Your name reveals my heart
Rejoice and rest my blessed one
God will hold you close tonight

My love for you will never fade
This I promise to be true
With each passing hour, each passing day
I won’t stop praising God for you

Draw near to Him who gives us strength
Lay down your fears and hurts
How He cares for even sparrows’ need
How much greater is your worth?

Beautiful blessed one
Gods precious little child
So loved, adored, delighted in
Worshipper of Christ
