Tiny Beating Heart

There's a song our Momma sang us long ago
And just a solitary line is all I seem to know
She would always hold us near
And as she wiped away a tear, sang
Bless your little tiny beating heart

Now in my mail came a grainy video
Black and white, from my little girl just to let me know
"Ten weeks old, Daddy, watch him grow"
"May be a 'she' Daddy, we don't know"
But you can clearly see the tiny beating heart

Now I am sure there's a heaven
Though I thought I had believed it from the start
I remember Momma's song and how we all would sing along
God bless this baby's tiny beating heart

Then our turn came and labor handed her a chore
I made every light in town to the doctor's door
Through the pain the torched was passed
And when our baby finally gasped
The nurse said, "Bless her tiny beating heart"

Now I am sure there's a heaven
Though I thought I had believed it from the start
I remember Momma's song and how we all would sing along
God bless this baby's tiny beating heart

He might have his Momma's eyes or Daddy's smile
Or Grandpa's wise old DNA
It's made by the Creator anyway

Now I find myself just staring at the screen
Trying to understand this miracle I'm seeing
For you who say there's nothing there
Watch with me and I know you'll swear
The proof lies in that tiny beating heart

Now I am sure there's a heaven
Though I thought I had believed it from the start
I remember Momma's song and how we all would sing along
God bless this baby's tiny beating heart

I knew you before I formed you
Before you were born, I set you all apart (Jeremiah 1:5)
Now I am sure there's a heaven,
God bless this baby's tiny beating heart
