From the recording Ladybird (Full Album)
I'll never understand the curse and blessing of grief. It nearly killed me, and literally broke my heart. It has changed me and I am still discovering how to live joyfully in the absence of some many loved ones. Sometimes my memories feel like far off distant dreams, shadows of laughter, and hazey moments of better days. Sometimes I still catch my breath suddenly at the realization that I can't call or be with them anymore. I am sad, that makes me human, and being vulnerable about my grief has shown me that I am brave. I am finally growing up
Lyrics
Child of God by Mehuman c. 2023
I believe that everything is well in it’s place
Held in the heavenly, by mercy and amazing grace
But when I hear a mother cry,
I wondering, “what happened in heaven when a Child of God dies?”
I know even in this deep sorrow
There still strengthen for today and high hopes for tomorrow
But when I hear a father cry
I wondering, “what happened in heaven when a Child of God dies?”
If I knew the world were ending tomorrow
I would surely plant a tree for you today
If I have to beg, plead, steal, and borrow
Just to wipe all your weeping tears away
I pray that I learn to love and love well, now
Oh someday I’m going home, when my time runs out
So when you hear this Children of God’s cry
Go on look up to the heavens, Go on look to the sky!
When I meet my momma I hope she knows my face
When I hear my daddy, I hope he calls my name
When I see my Jesus shining like the sun
Gonna shout hallelujah, Gonna get my well done!
Gonna shout hallelujah, Gonna get my well done!
