This is for everyone who has lost a child. I hope it touches you as it has touched me!
This song was recorded by Selah. It was written by Todd and Angie Smith for their daughter Audrey.
I Will Carry You
I Will Carry You
There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?
People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this
So I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen me
To carry you
Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says...
I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?
I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen Me
To carry you

I love this song. I wrote Angie over a year ago when I ran across their blog. She was nice enough to send me an MP3 of this song in memory of Rivi. I will always be thankful to her for her kindness. She's an awesome lady!
