This Child of Yours

1. This child of ours, this miracle -

You have a dream and plan for it. You wash it clean.

You cradle it. You bless it and You call it Yours:

this child of ours, this child of Yours.



2. This child of Yours, this miracle -

reborn of Water and the Word.

The Book of Life records its name. You smile and angels celebrate:

this child of Yours, this child of ours.



3. This child of ours, this miracle -

whom Christ would die for, we may love and train and raise,

and teach and praise, and watch the Spirit mold a life: this child or ours,

this child of Yours.
