Precious Little One

I`m just a precious little one

who didn`t make it there.

I went straight to be with Jesus,

but I`m waiting for you here.

Many dwelling here where I live,

waited years to enter in.

Struggled through a world of sorow,

a world marred with pain and sin.

Thank you for the life you gave me,

it was brief but don`t complain.

I have all Heaven`s Glory,

suffered none of earth`s great pain.

Thank you for the name you gave me.

I`d have loved to bring it fame.

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

I would have suffered just the same.

So sweet family-don`t you sorrow.

Wipe those tears and chase the gloom.

I went straight to Jesus` arms

from my Mother`s womb.
