flight of the butterfly, rising free
Jesus, my salvation
Save me from this hell
Teach me to be loving
In your heart, I'll dwell
The day of great miracles is at hand
Lift me, dear God, to the place where love surrounds
I am lost and alone in this tumultuous world
My spirit has a great need to return to Your love
In the sharing of your eyes
I am at once alive and afraid
This life that was but a few moments ago
Sleeping deep within me
The pain that was impossibly strong
Is but a distant memory
When I hold your perfect little fingers
In my hand
Precious child
We love you and adore you
You have captivated and captured us
And we willingly give all we are to you
Two hearts joined in one great love
Two souls melding to invite another
And now we are three
Your father takes my hand with such gentleness
As I take yours in like manner
And the love that fills this room and these hearts
Sets forth a tear from me
I am not surprised
That your father has been overwhelmed, too
As our new family exchanges
These first loving glances
These first wonderful embraces
These first welcome tears
