As I put Clare down for her nap today and turned on her music I thought about how much I love the first song she hears everytime she naps or goes to sleep at night. When I first heard the song it seemed so fitting to be my prayer for Clare for the rest of her life. It's incredibly sweet because when I put her to bed at night we always sing "Jesus Loves Me" but immediately after she asks if we can sing "Hold on to Jesus" or "Hold Jesus" as she calls it. It's a beautiful song and my prayer for not only Clare but her little sister who will be here so soon!
Hold on to Jesus by Erin O'Donnell
Your a little peice of heaven
Your a golden ray of light
And I wish I could protect you
from the worries of this life.
But if theres one thing I could tell you
It is no matter what you do
Hold to Jesus, He's holding on to you
The world will try to tell you
That might is more than right
and beauty's on the outside
and being goods a losing fight
but remember what I've told you
'cause the world will make you choose
Hold to Jesus, He's holding on to you
Hold on to Jesus and cling to His love
Rest deep in his mercy whenever things get tough
Don't lose sight of His goodness
and don't ever doubt this truth
Hold to Jesus, He's holding on to you
Hear me dear Jesus, rock this little one to sleep
Keep her close when she's scared
and give her grace when she's weak
I know she will stumble but I know she'll make it through
If you hold onto just like you said you'd do
hold her Jesus so she will hold tight to you
