Emma's Secret |
In memory of Emma Seeds |
I'm just a little girl
who didn't quite make it here I went straight to be with Jesus but I'm waiting for you there Don't you fret about mr mummy, I'm of all God's lambs most blessed; I'd have loved to stay there with you but the 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 mummy 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 loved to brought it fame but if I’d lingered in earth’s shadows might instead have bro’t it shame. Daddy gave me something for you, it’s our secret mummy dear. Pressed it tight against my forehead, whispered in my tiny ear. I’ll be waiting for you, mummy You, and daddy, brother Chris. I’ll be with you then forever Then I’ll give you daddy’s kiss. |
