My very dear friend sent us a baby gift that included a new lullaby cd. It's Coco's current nap selection and has been incredibly powerful to me lately. My favorite song on it is called "Hold on to Jesus" by Erin O'Donnell.
You're a little piece of heaven
You're a golden ray of light
And I wish I could protect you
From the worries of this life
But if there's one thing I could tell you
It's no matter what you do
Hold to Jesus, He's holding onto you
The world will try to tell you
That might is more than right
And beauty's on the outside
And being good's, a losing fight
But remember what I've told you
'Cause the world will make you choose
Hold to Jesus, He's holding on to you
Hold on to Jesus, and cling to His love
Rest deep in His mercy, whenever things get rough
And don't lose sight of His goodness
And don't ever doubt this truth
That when you hold on to Jesus
He's holdin onto you, Yeah
Hear me dear Jesus
Rock this little one to sleep
Keep her close when she's scared
And give her grace when she is weak
I know she'll stumble, but I know she'll make it through
If you hold on to her, just like you said you'd do
Hold her Jesus so she'll hold on tight to you
You're a golden ray of light
And I wish I could protect you
From the worries of this life
But if there's one thing I could tell you
It's no matter what you do
Hold to Jesus, He's holding onto you
The world will try to tell you
That might is more than right
And beauty's on the outside
And being good's, a losing fight
But remember what I've told you
'Cause the world will make you choose
Hold to Jesus, He's holding on to you
Hold on to Jesus, and cling to His love
Rest deep in His mercy, whenever things get rough
And don't lose sight of His goodness
And don't ever doubt this truth
That when you hold on to Jesus
He's holdin onto you, Yeah
Hear me dear Jesus
Rock this little one to sleep
Keep her close when she's scared
And give her grace when she is weak
I know she'll stumble, but I know she'll make it through
If you hold on to her, just like you said you'd do
Hold her Jesus so she'll hold on tight to you
Coco has been needing some extra special looking after. She's ok, but her bladder and kidneys are functioning in a way that could make her sick. We have a HUGE blessing of having seen it before she's ever had an issue, but it means a lot of nervous testing and waiting to see what happens as she continues to grow. God has shown his guiding hand through all of this, even back to discovering the issue before she was even born, and we continue to be blessed with good doctors. 
She thinks she gets to keep going to these spas that rub her down with warm gel while they take pictures, or she holds hands with Mommy in a dark calming room with only the hum of machines and her lullabies playing while she naps. 
...hold on to her, just like you said you'd do
Hold her Jesus so she'll hold on tight to you
Hold her Jesus so she'll hold on tight to you
I'm convinced that God uses dogs to deliver snuggles as liberally as needed.
