Aryah

I carried you for nine whole months beneath a faithful sky

My one and only daughter, the apple of my eye

For nineteen years I've watched you grow, walking in His grace

I see the love of Jesus shining right there in your face

Oh, Aryah, you are strong and you are beautiful

A caring heart, a loving soul, a spirit wonderful

When I look at you I see the prayer my heart was pleading

Jesus knew exactly what I needed

Yes, Jesus knew exactly what I needed

We sit around and laugh out loud, just joking through the day

Being silly with each other, chasing every cloud away

You are so supportive, such a blessing here to me

Somehow you grew up to be the very best parts of me

Oh, Aryah, you are strong and you are beautiful

A caring heart, a loving soul, a spirit wonderful

When I look at you I see the prayer my heart was pleading

Jesus knew exactly what I needed

Yes, Jesus knew exactly what I needed

So hear this word I give to you, to hold onto tonight

Matthew six and twenty-five will guide you to the light

Do not worry 'bout your life, or what tomorrow brings

Just trust the Lord who watches over every living thing

Oh, Aryah, you are strong and you are beautiful

A caring heart, a loving soul, a spirit wonderful

When I look at you I see the prayer my heart was pleading

Jesus knew exactly what I needed

You became the very best parts of me

Yes, Jesus knew exactly what I needed
