As most of you know, it doesn't take much for emotional Lisa to cry...I cry for nearly every Disney movie, I cry when I tell stories, read stories (even childrens books)heck I can't even make it through Love You Forever or The Kissing Hand, when I watch T.V...and listen to sweet songs...sweet songs like this one! I'm bawling right now listening to it!
It makes me think of my daughters and their daddy...he has such a special relationship with them (like I did with my daddy!)
Anyways, it just makes me realize what a special gift
all our children are. How God has
lent them to us for a really short time, when compared to eternity. God has entrusted them to us and that for us is a really important job. I can only pray that we can love our kids with the love of Jesus and raise them to love Him too. I know this song is about how
we loved them first...but really, God loved them first and loves them and us more than we could ever imagine or comprehend.
Here are the lyrics to I Loved Her First by Heartland. You'll find this song on the music box right here on my blog at the very bottom. Click on it, I bet you can't make it through the verse without sobbing...like me!!!
Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first
How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her firstDaddy & Ezra
