God Gave Me Three

Three. Three! All for me.

What glorious treasures my eyes can see!

One is Handsome, the second is Cute, the third is more Beautiful than I can believe

All for me.

Gifts from above

A truly awesome expression of His love

Kisses, embraces and coos galore

What a wonderful world of boys to explore

The first showed me love in choosing me

Opening the doors to marriage and motherhood

And so the second came to be

Giving me the joy of life and enriching my existance

And now with the third, I can't contain the elation

It feels wonderful holding a little one in my arms again!

God gave me three, He knows I can bear

The needs of kings and princes

The cause of visionaries and prophets,

The tasks of trendsetters and lords

He's mandated me to serve and love greatness under one ediface

And to stand even through hard times

Oh for the grace to take on the task!

Oh for the patience to endure!

Oh for the strength to be more than a woman

Greater than i've ever been before.

A calling more challenging than i've ever known

Yet He has given and He says I can bear

To watch these three grow into their own

I must be strong and diligent

For I stand on this promise: 'She will rejoice in time to come...'

May I truly be tenacious,

For you my metamorphosing spouse, my terrific toddler and my delightful infant.

God gave me three. All for me.
