Jesus didn't heal our baby
He let her die
We asked Him why
He gave no reply
Our hearts were broken
Our sorrow deep
We couldn't understand
Why He let her sleep
All the joy was gone
That we had known
We could not see
The seed He had sown
All we could see
Was the empty place
Where we once
Saw her face
Her beautiful smile
That brightened our days
Her big blue eyes
Her sweet loving ways
All was gone forever
We felt so alone
We wondered how
We could go on
Then slowly His plan
He begain to reveal
His forgiveness and love
We begin to feel
Only she could have
Drawn us close to His side
And taught us how to trust
And in Him abide
Tiffney filled her mission
Together they give
The directions of the way
He wants us to live
They show us the example
Of His great love
As they smile together
In their home above
As we face each day
After our new birth
We know we must
remain upon this earth
But we look forward
To another day
When with Tiffney
And Jesus we will stay
