Hug him once for me
by Erica McClure
I asked you Lord You answered
a little one You gave
the hardest part I never knew
was that little one You'd take
But Lord I trust You now
I know that You are good
and Jesus I was wondering if You would
Hug him once for me
hold him up real close
let him sit upon Your knee
tell him all the things we'd teach him about You
Whisper in his ear
one more simple truth
tell him that You love him
and that we love him too
Waiting here right now Lord
it seems so hard to do
longing just to hold him
like other mothers do
I know that You are faithful
Your hand of grace I've known
but I ask You in the meantime
until You call me home
Hug him once for me
hold him up real close
let him sit upon Your knee
tell him all the things we'd teach him about You
Whisper in his ear
one more simple truth
tell him that You love him
and that we love him too
And when the trumpet sounds, Lord,
Your face I long to see
Now I have one more reason to wait expectantly
And when I get to heaven
and see all You have done
I know that I will understand
and to him I will run
I'll hug him once for me
I'll hold him up real close
he'll sit upon my knee
and tell me all the things
You've taught him about You
He'll whisper in my ear
One more simple truth
He'll tell me that he loves You
and that he loves me too
he'll tell me that he loves You
and Lord, I love You too

Gone Too Soon
by
Daughtry
Today could've been the day
That you blow out your candles
Make a wish as you close your eyes
Today could've been the day
Everybody was laughin'
Instead I just sit here and cry
Who would you be?
What would you look like
When you looked at me for the very first time?
Today could've been the next day of the rest of your life
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose
Such a ray of light we never knew
Gone too soon, yeah
Would you have been president?
Or a painter, an author or sing like your mother
One thing is evident
Would've given all I had
Would've loved ya like no other
Who would you be?
What would you look like?
Would you have my smile and her eyes?
Today could've been the next day of the rest of your life
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose
Such a ray of light we never knew
Gone too soon, yeah
Not a day goes by, oh
I'm always asking why, oh
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose
Such a beautiful life we never knew
Gone too soon
You were gone too soon, yeah
And not a day goes by
That I don't think of you
