" Heaven’s Child"
(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)
(Verse 1)
She was born in the streets in the pouring rain
Left for dead, a baby with no name
A couple walked by and heard her cries
They picked her up and took her to the hospital nearby
Who could do a thing like this
To a precious baby, one of God’s gifts
(Verse 2)
The doctors worked hard to keep her alive
Prayers went up from strangers that night
Tiny hands wrapped around their finger so tight
Fighting for her first breath under the pale moonlight
The couple stayed there, wouldn’t leave her side
They knew in their hearts God had a plan for her life
(Chorus)
From the ashes she would rise
From the tears came brighter skies
What was meant to break her made her strong
God had been with her all along
No more cold, no more pain
Only love would be her name
She was born in the streets, but she’s Heaven’s child today
(Verse 3)
Years went by, she learned how to smile
Every step she took was worth the trials
Her laughter was a hymn, her life a song
A living miracle that proved God’s never wrong
The couple who found her called her their own
She was the answer to prayers they had sown
(Chorus)
From the ashes she would rise
From the tears came brighter skies
What was meant to break her made her strong
God had been with her all along
No more cold, no more pain
Only love would be her name
She was born in the streets, but she’s Heaven’s child today
(Bridge)
Some may call it fate, but I know it’s His grace
That a lost little soul found a safe, warm place
And every scar she bears is a story to tell
Of a God who saves and does all things well
(Final Chorus)
From the ashes she would rise
From the tears came brighter skies
What was meant to break her made her strong
God had been with her all along
No more cold, no more pain
Only love would be her name
She was born in the streets, but she’s Heaven’s child today
(Outro)
Now she runs through fields in the morning sun
Laughing like the battle’s already won
From a nameless baby to a precious jewel
She’s living proof that God makes broken things new
