A baby girl, a baby boy
In reality children of God
But thru His kindness and His love
Loaned to us from up above.
He sent His Son so we
Could See
Just how great a love
Could be
And gave us all this great
Command
Teach my son to be a man.
Tender, soft, a wondrous delight
Teach my daughter to be a wife.
United thus, a wondrous plan
Could this be full purpose
For every man
For to this earth we have to come
To gain a body, just like His son
To learn His ways, to stand the test
To put Him first above the rest
This is our duty, this is our joy
Then, we are worthy of
This baby girl, this baby boy.
Written by Patricia S. Reed, Mother of Robin and grandmother of Jeffrey, Jennifer, Alexander, & Emily
