All I Can GiveIf I knew thenWhat I know nowYou never would have died.I'd have held you closeAnd nurtured youAnd kept you by my side.I'd have sung you songsAnd treasured youMore than silver,More than gold;But this song is all I can giveTo the Babe I'll never hold.I've never written poetryThat hasn't been a praiseTo the Lord Who wept with meAnd held me through those days.Jesus, now I'm askingI know you hear my plea,Please take that child in Your Hands,And Hold my Babe for me. -- Terri Lynne Hurst |  |
