Heartstrings

My child inside, I love you
I'm asking through the tears
That God will grant me wisdom
Way beyond my years
Because your life is precious
And the best for you is in store
I pull upon my heartstrings
Until they finally tore

And I prayed and I cried
And because I love you so, I'm letting go
To trust the One I know for sure
I'll place you in the Father's hands
The only One who'll ever love you more

You were the miracle we prayed for
That we could not have had ourselves
You brought us joy and happiness
And a love we'd never felt
How we cherished every moment
Then we looked up and you were grown
Never knew this day would come so soon
Oh, how the years have flown

And we laughed and we cried
And how it hurts us so to let you go
So much life for you in store
We'll place you in the Father's hands
The only One who'll ever love you more

And the hardest part of living
Is giving back what we've been given
Each gift from God is only yours and mine
For a time

So we laugh and we cry
And the hardest part of life is letting go
To trust the One we know for sure
He'll hold us safely in His hands
'Cause no one else will ever love us more

Oh, He'll hold you safely His hands
'Cause no one else will ever love you more
