God Danced

Sarah Lux 1976 (United States)

Shaped
On the day you were born
God Danced
As He gazed upon you, His beloved child
God Danced
Seeing your warm smile and the sparkle in your eyes
God Danced
Seeing your ears that would listen so intently and with compassion
God Danced
Holding the hands that would one day hold the hands of many
God Danced
Gazing into your heart filled with love...His love
God Danced
A heart filled with compassion for others in need
God Danced
Seeing you, created in His image
God Danced
Over you, His precious child
God Danced
