This Morning in China...

This morning a mother in China cries

She’ll never forget her daughter’s eyes.

Her heart is broken and filled with pain

The tears run down like the falling rain.

She has no choice but to leave her there

The cost of keeping is too much to bear

She hopes her daughter will one day know

True love can be found in letting her go.

This morning a baby in China cries

Hungry and scared as tears fill her eyes

Her mother has left her in this public place

Another lost daughter of the Chinese race

Someone passing by has heard her soft moan

She’s soon quickly taken to a foster home

It’s her she’ll reside in the care of another

Until she is ADOPTED by a brand new mother

That very same moment, in the U.S.A.

A woman cries as she starts to pray

Her heart is heavy, but filled with so much love

She prays for a daughter she thinks the world of

“Dear Jesus, I ask that your arms would be

Wrapped tightly around the one picked for me

Guard her in China ‘til I make my way

And then forever in my arms and heart she’ll stay.”
