A Child of Mine

I'll lend you for a little while  

A child of mine God said

For you to love while he lives  

And mourn for when he's dead

It may be six or seven years  

Or twenty two or three

But will you 'til I call him back  

Take care of him for Me

He'll bring his charms to gladden you  

And should his stay be brief

You'll always have his memories  

As a solace for your grief

I cannot promise he will stay georgia butterfly

As all from earth return

But there are lessons taught down there  

That I want this child to learn

I've looked this whole world over  

In My search for teachers true

And from the throngs that crowd life's lane  

I have chosen you

Now will you give him all your love  

Nor think labour vain

Nor hate Me when I come to take  

This lent child back again?

I fancied that I heard them say  

Dear Lord Thy Will be done

For all the joys Thy child will bring  

The risk of grief we'll run

We'll shelter him with ternderness  

We'll love him while we may

And just for having loved him  

Forever grateful stay

But should the angels come for him

Much sooner than we planned

We'll brave the bitter grief that comes

And try, to understand
