Tia

Tia, I look back on the years we’ve shared

And I can’t pick just a single day

Because every moment since you arrived

Has been special in its own sweet way

You have a spirit that is so forgiving

You pour your heart into all you do

I have cherished every second of this life

Just walking down the road with you

But my greatest prayer, my deepest hope

Is that you’ll see the grace that I have known

I want you to find Christ, to feel His embrace

To let Him guide you to a higher place

You have so much beautiful love to give

I just want His love to show you how to live

I watch the way you care for the world

Such a gentle and radiant soul

You are the greatest gift I’ve ever been given

Watching you grow up has made me whole

But there is a peace that goes beyond my reach

A comfort that a parent can’t provide

A truth I want so badly to share with you

To be the constant compass by your side

'Cause my greatest prayer, my deepest hope

Is that you’ll see the grace that I have known

I want you to find Christ, to feel His embrace

To let Him guide you to a higher place

You have so much beautiful love to give

I just want His love to show you how to live

Please don't wait until the shadows fall

Don't let the seasons just slip away

I want you to hear Him when He calls

And step into the light of day

Before the years run out of time

I need to know your soul is fine

That is my prayer, my deepest hope

That you’ll see the grace that I have known

Tia, find Christ, and feel His embrace

Let Him guide you to a higher place

You have so much beautiful love to give

I just want His love to show you how to live

My wonderful daughter, my shining light

I pray you open up your heart tonight
