Safe and Sound

I love Matthew West.   He is probably my favorite Christian male artist.  I was listening to him at work today and I came across his song "Safe and Sound" which is about a new baby.  I have to tell you, I don't know if I am just extra hormonal but it brought tears to my eyes.  It is so meaningful to me with Hudson coming and it brought back precious memories of my baby Brian.  Parenthood is one of the most amazing gifts I have ever been given and I am truly thankful for every moment, good and bad.  Thank you, Lord, for my two precious blessings.  Please read these lyrics and listen to the song and I hope it touches you as much as it did me.

Safe and Sound

Can’t believe you’re here now
Tiny dream come true
The answer to a prayer now
I’m so in love with you
Couldn’t wait to meet you
Hope you like your name
I get the funny feeling
Life will never be the same

Safe and sound
You’re here with me now
Like I hoped you’d be
Safe and sound
You’re here with me now
And that’s all I’ll ever need

The world’s a scary place here
But, baby, it’s alright
I’ll make sure the coast is clear
So you can just sleep tight
But if you’re afraid of monsters
Like everybody is
I’ll be right beside you
Closer than a kiss

Safe and sound
I’m here with you now
And you will always be
Safe and sound
I’m here with you now
And that’s all you’ll ever need

Someday I’m gonna teach you
The reason why we pray
So that heaven’s love may reach you
Every single day
So, baby, close your eyes now
And say a prayer with me
Lord, I lay me down to sleep now
But I know I will be

Safe and sound
You’re here with us now
And we will always be
Safe and sound You’re here with us now
And that’s all we’ll ever, all we’ll ever need
You’re all we’ll ever need

My baby Brian...

And can't wait to meet our little Hudson....
