A meeting was held quite far from Earth.
It was time again for another birth.
Said the Angels to the Lord above–
“This special child will need much love.
“Her progress may be very slow,
“Accomplishment she may not show.
“And she’ll require extra care
“From the folks she meets down there.
“She may not run or laugh or play,
“Her thoughts may seem quite far away.
“So many times she will be labeled
“different,’ ‘helpless’ and disabled.
“So, let’s be careful where she’s sent.
“We want her life to be content.
“Please, Lord, find the parents who
“Will do a special job for you.
“They will not realize right away
“The leading role they are asked to play.
“But with this child sent from above
“Comes stronger faith, and richer love.
“And soon they’ll know the privilege given
“In caring for their gift from heaven.
“Their precious charge, so meek and mild
“Is heaven’s very special child.”

God needed an angel in Heaven
To stand at the Savior’s feet;
His choice must be the rarest
A lily pure and sweet.
He gazed upon the mighty throng
Then stopped and picked the best,
Our child was His chosen one
With Jesus she’s [he’s] now at rest.

No stain was on her little heart;
Sin had not entered there;
And innocence slept sweetly on;
That pale white brow so fair.
She was too pure for this cold earth;
Too beautiful to stay;
And so God's holy angel bore;
Our darling one away.

If only the sky could open;
And his dear little face I could see;
Oh, what a wonderful feeling;
I know would come over me.
But he is with the Angels;
Far from sin and pain;
Where Jesus said: "Believe in Me;
And thou shalt see him again"
