God Never will

The lush grass massaged bare feet as I stroll the backyard and imagine my baby girl

She was late, but I know, in just a few days, she'd be entering into this world

I'm so excited about what's to come and I just can't wait!

Immediately after I feel this excitement, a thought comes and it won't escape 

I'm not perfect,  I'll mess up, and I don't know how I’ll measure up?

I just don't think I am capable of always filling her love cup. 

I'm going to fail her, I'm going to ruin her, I don't have what it takes

I'm faulty, I'm a sinner, I'm going to make too many mistakes!

I cry to the Lord and I tell him all that's on my heart and soul 

Soon, I'm encouraged as I realize that He will help me fulfill this role

He says to me, "My daughter, didn't your mother make mistakes?

Don't you realize I helped her to know that she had what it takes?

You had troubles, you had cares, you had worries you fretted about

But look how I formed you, just look how you turned out

You will not be perfect, but remember to be at peace, be still 

It's guaranteed that you'll fail, but I assure you, I never will"

The joy that came was abundant and overflowing

The assurance of the Lord came as sure as the wind started blowing

I knew right then what I'd teach my little girl to remember

The thought was crystal clear on that day in my backyard in late September

I'd say, "Though you will have many troubles in this dark cold world

I trust that you will be strong, my beautiful, bright little girl

You’ll face good things, bad things and you may not know how to feel

Just know this one thing that: I may fail you, but God never will"
