I Will Carry You

Baby Audrey in mommy Angie's hands

I chanced upon this blog Bring the Rain~The Story of Audrey Caroline by a mother who discovered at 20 weeks that her baby Audrey would not survive even if she is born. But she chose to carry her to full term and gave birth to her, only to lose her shortly after.

Here is a very touching letter she wrote for her baby : A Letter to My Daughter

And here is a very touching song she has written for her baby (with her husband and a friend). Listen and see pictures of her and her family in the slideshow.



I Will Carry You

There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?

People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this

So I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen me
To carry you

Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says...

I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?

I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen Me
To carry you

"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I shall depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised." Job1:21

And I will praise the One Who's chosen me... to carry you...
