Waiting for a Miracle

We’re waiting for a miracle,
Known only by his name.
We’ve never seen his precious face,
Yet love him all the same.

Two oceans keep us far apart;
With mountains yet to climb.
But we know we’ll be together
As a family in due time.

We pray that God will keep him safe,
Provide shelter, love and care.
We pray he grows up well and strong
With other children there.

Ian, “God is gracious”
Is the name that’s on our heart …
And we pray the graciousness of God
Keeps him safe while we’re apart.

An orphanage is not a home;
His home, is where we are.
Mother, father, sisters, brother
Praying from afar.

Tonight I tucked my girls in bed,
I kissed my son goodnight.
May it be that one day soon,
I’ll snuggle one more tight!
