"Baby's Secret"

I'm just a little feller

And I didn't quite make it there;

I went straight to be with Jesus

And I'm waiting for you here.

Don't you fret about me, Mommy,

I'm of all God's lambs most blest;

I'd have loved to stayed there with you,

But our Shepherd knows what's best.

Many dwelling here where I live

Waited years to enter in,

Struggled through a world of sorrow

And their lives were marred with sin.

So sweet, Mommy don't you sorrow,

Wipe those tears and chase the gloom;

I went straight to Jesus' bosom

From my lovely mother's womb.

Thank you for the life you gave me,

It was brief, but don't complain,

I have all of heaven's glory,

Suffered none of earthling's pain.

Thank you for the name you gave me,

I'd have loved to brought it fame;

But if I'd lingered in earth's shadows,

Might instead have brought it shame.

Abba gave me something for you,

It's our secret, Mommy dear;

Pressed it tight against my forehead,

Whispered in my tiny ear.

I'll be waiting for you, Mommy---

You and Daddy, Bud and Sis,

I'll be with you then forever

And I'll give you Abba’s kiss.
