Fifteen Weeks

Verse 1
You were just fifteen weeks, we were watching you grow
On a screen with the doctor, we saw your little nose
Then the doctor said, “Something’s not right
And the room went quiet, we waited through the night
Tests and scans and ultrasounds
Prayin’ hard - knees on the ground

Verse 2
I was already plannin’ how I’d hold you tight
Walk with you hand in hand, teach you wrong from right
Had your name written down in my phone
Dreamed about bringin’ you home
But Heaven had a different plan
One I still don’t understand

Chorus
Although I’ve never known you, I sure miss you still
You own a place in my heart no one else can fill
I never got to hold you, or count your little toes
But I know you’re safe in heaven on the streets of gold
Sometimes faith is all I have to hold on to
When the world feels broken and i’m missing you
Just know, I’ll never forget you 
even though I never met you
You’re my child… and you always will be

Verse 3
I picture you runnin’ through fields of light
No pain, no fear, just perfect sight
You must’ve been needed where the angels are
I get it but the pain still hits hard
God must’ve had a reason why
Though it still brings tears to my eyes

Bridge
One day when my work on earth is through
I’ll hear you say “Daddy ” and I’ll run to you
And our whole family will finally see
The little soul that completed me

Final Chorus (lift it slightly)
Although I’ve never known you, I sure miss you still
But I’m trustin’ in God’s greater will
There’ll come a day beyond this pain
When we’re all together again
No more goodbyes, we’ll finally be
Together forever our whole family
Just know, I’ll never forget you 
even though I never met you
We’ll be together someday… real soon
