I'M SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS

It's ok to cry dear Mommy

I know your heart hurts so.

I wish I could stop your pain dear Daddy

Please hold my Mommy close.

Give kisses to my siblings

Hug them every day.

Please tell them that I love them

Cody, Matthew, RJ, Abby, and Kelsie Mae

I know that for all of life you'll feel broken, empty, and scarred.

I know that you still miss me and the days ahead are hard.

I know you'll never forget me or the day that I was due.

I know you'll cry at Christmastime and every anniversary too.

I know you hoped to hear my voice and touch my newborn face.

I know you longed to hold me forever in your embrace.

I know your plans and dreams feel spiraling out of control;

But there is something you need to hear that will touch your very soul.

I've seen the face of Jesus.

I've touched the hand of God.

I know of Heaven's Glory;

This place where Saints have trod.

I've sang with the angels in the presence of the KING

The Lamb of God, The Prince of Peace, Most Holy is His name!

Something so incomprehensible your earthly words have failed to acclaim.

I've met my older sibling, we're the very best of friends.

We're waiting here together 'til your earthly travel ends.

Grandma Snow and Valerie, a host of others too,

All met me here and held me close...it was like being held by YOU.

I'm safe in the arms of Jesus!
So listen to this truth:

I'll never be seduced by sin or fall to Satan's snare.

He lost the war to gain my soul, he cannot touch me here.

I'll never face the pain of earth, its broken sinful state

I'll never face the ugliness of sorrow, anger, or hate.

God gave me as a gift to you, though I live in Heaven above

My life is to be shared with others as a witness of His LOVE.

Because of YOUR love Mommy and Daddy, and with the blessing of God's grace;

I was formed fearfully and wonderfully made, nothing about me was a mistake.

I'm fulfilling my purpose in Heaven and now I have a job for you:

Go forward with your life dear family, Christ's love will be your guide.

Surrender all into His hands, trusting Him with everything, He will always ALWAYS provide.

So when you think of your precious child, your Darling Baby Snowflake

Remember that I'm not far away.
Jesus lives inside you, He resides within your heart.

I'm safe in the arms of Jesus

Which means we'll NEVER be apart.

Shoulder to Cry On

Uncontrollable sobbing

Wild heart throbbing

The anguish - soul stopping.

 

A shoulder to cry on.

 

Floods of tears

Unquieted fears

Distressed weeping piercing ears.

 

A shoulder to cry on.

 

Buried by sorrow

No hope for tomorrow

Seismic anger equivalent to Kilimanjaro.

 

A shoulder to cry on.

 

Agonizing pain

Yet can't contain

Overwhelming emotional drain.

 

 A shoulder to cry on.

 

Leather Book

Take a look

Holding onto a shepherd's hook.

 

 A shoulder to cry on.

 

Forgiveness. Mercy. Grace.

Death on a cross, took my place.

Empty tomb. My sins - erased.

 

A shoulder to cry on.

 

Despite this world's decay

He's worthy of my praise

For all my mortal days.

 

A shoulder to cry on.

 

So when your world's at war

And you can't hold on anymore

Let Him be your:

 

SHOULDER TO CRY ON.
