Jesus'
rocking chair
Many hopeful moms and dads
try to have a child of their own
some never get the chance
other do and see them grown
and there are those who are expecting
that precious baby soon
but then it's gone before it ever leaves
the safety of its mama's womb
Jesus has a rocking chair
and he holds that precious baby
with oh such tender care
he takes the place of mom and dad
he's the greatest parent a child could have
don't worry about the children there
Jesus has a rocking chair
There are those who have a boy
or girl
a lovely gift of God
but sickness or a tragedy
takes them from their parent's arms
mamas wish for days gone by
and daddies long for that lost child
but children are not lost
when you know where they are
Jesus has a rocking chair
and he holds that precious baby
with oh such tender care
he takes the place of mom and dad
he's the greatest parent a child could have
don't worry about the children there
Jesus has a rocking chair
She was eighteen and unmarried
expecting her little one
but in her time of confusion
she took the life of her son
Since then Jesus forgave her
and he took all her shame away
but still she cries missing her baby
but she hears the angels say
Jesus has a rocking chair
and he holds that precious baby
with oh such tender care
he takes the place of mom and dad
he's the greatest parent a child could have
don't worry about the children there
Jesus has a rocking chair
He takes the place of mom and
dad
he's the greatest parent a child could have
don't worry about the children there
Jesus has a rocking chair
