[bless my little girl]
I was listening to this album recently. It always brings back many memories. When my family first had this album, it was in a cassette! So I had this way back long ago and that's why I can memorise almost every song without ever having to flip to see the lyrics!
And I simply love this album! Sweet and gentle. And it went with us to New Zealand and was always played when my dad drives along the highways. So whenever I hear the songs, there would be scenes of mountains and green grasslands flashing through my mind.
One thing I like about this album is that it has a Christian touch to it. Some songs are as prayers to God--to ask for God's blessings over this little girl. Like the one that mentions about the different women in the Bible and the characters they display and about how one day she'll meet her future husband and about faith, hope & love (1 Cor 13). Beautiful and wonderful! :)
As I hear this album, I was really touched. Oh, how I wished I had a little girl to behold and to sing these songs to. How I wish I have a daughter, a lovely and pretty baby girl in my arms...to hold her, to sing to her, to love her, to dedicate her to God, to pray over her, to train her up to be a woman of God. Such longing, it just keeps coming...I just wonder if I would ever have a chance. Nonetheless, I'll hope in God. And even if I can't pray over a child of my own, I can pray over my nieces and other people's children :)
