A Baby's Secret I'm just a little person Who didn't quite make it there I went straight to be with Jesus But I'm waiting for you here. Don't you fret about me mommy I'm of all Gods lambs, most blest I'd have loved to stay there with you But the shepard knows what's best. Many dwellings here where I live waited years to enter in Struggled through a world of sorrow and their lives were marred with sin. So sweet mommy don't you sorrow Wipe those tears and chase the gloom I went straight to jesus bosom from my lovely mother's womb. Thank-you for the name you gave me I'd have loved to brought it fame But if I'd lingered in earth's shadows I'd might instead have brought it shame. Daddy gave me something for you It's our secret mommy dear He pressed it tight against my forehead and whispered in my ear. I'd be waiting for you, mommy- you and Daddy, all the rest. I'll be with you then forever And I'll give you Daddy's kiss.
