Rock-a-bye

We waited so long
To hold our sweet Benjamin.
We waited so long
To hold his little hand
And now that it seems
He was snatched from our hands,
A message from mommy
So he'll understand:

Rock-a-bye in Heaven tonight
Jesus is holding you
so cling to him tightly
I'll be there someday
to share your great joy
Rock-a-bye baby
he's holding you now.

Not a baby in body
but a baby at heart
I'll miss your sweet innocence
The days we're apart
But now you're in Heaven
With Jesus today
Mikey, I'm telling you
I just wanna say

Run around Mikey
in Heaven today
given new bodies
Run, jump, and play
I'll be there someday
to see your great joy
Run around Mikey
You're with Jesus today.

And looking at Jesus with a longing heart
You know you never want to be alone
And you see yourself as a baby right now
You long to be held in His loving arms

Run to my Jesus
To His loving arms
He'll hold you so close
And he'll never let go.
You'll be there someday
To know His great joy.
Run to my Jesus
He is loving you now.

Run around Mikey
You're with Jesus today.
Rock-a-bye
Rock-a-bye
Rock-a-bye
Rock-a-bye baby
He is holding you.
