Little baby, precious baby
How we love you today
As we gather ‘round the font of Life
And name you this way
As our baby, little Marley
A gift to this Place
We will teach you and live for you,
The Story of Grace
The Holy God, True Redeemer,
sings in your soul
Jesus, your Brother, just wants you to know
The Holy Spirit of Wisdom
who whispers this way
"Little baby, your church loves you,
hear what they say."
Find a true love, trust a sweet friend
Walk with eyes ever seeing
May your brilliant creation
Just dance into Being
Chart a new course, Make your Way straight
Engage life’s mystery
Write your own song, sing with gusto
Yet, seek harmony.
Maybe for awhile
You will leave these safe pews
Risking and asking
Questioning Truth
When you come back, little baby
From any black night
This we covenant, this we promise
We’ll leave on the Light
The Holy God, True Redeemer,
sings in your soul.
Jesus, your Brother, just wants you to know,
The Holy Spirit of Wisdom
who whispers and says
"Little baby, your church loves you,
can you hear them pray?"
