When He First Gave His Life To You Lyrics by Debbie Sims

Wealth, Love & Fame

1984

You can have your wealth and riches
All the things so many seek
Position, power, fine success
The fame you long to keep
You can earn so much you wish for
Reach a status high above
But none of these can equal
Having one sweet child to love
'Tis the greatest gift from heaven
Little arms that hold you tight
And a kiss so soft and gentle
When you tuck them in at night
A million precious questions
And each story often read
Two eyes so bright and smiling
And a darling tousled head
Chorus:
Mother knows you are a child full of wonder
Father knows you are one a kind
Daughters and sons know you have a sweet angel face
Brothers and sisters know you have peace of mind
Everybody knows the same thing, too
And that's the bottom line
From all harm and danger they will protect you
Keep you in a safe haven and never leave you alone
He will wrap His love around you
Give you a bear hug
And hold you close to His heart when He comes marching home, sweet home
God broke the mold since the day you were born
With a heart of gold when He first gave His life to you
God can never match the goodness
Of a trusting little face
Or a heart so full of laughter
Spreading sunshine every place
A child to hold and cuddle
'Tis a gift from God above
And the world is so much brighter
When you have a child to love
Repeat Chorus
