Lord Jesus, thank you for toddler cries
Thank you for the burning sensation in tear filled eyes
Thank you for toddler cries
I heard this little sweetie stumble and fall
I watched as her daddy nearby picked her up and soothed her. Thank you for toddler cries
It reminded me of my Abba Father who interprets my pleas
He hears my whimpers and whining and silent tears
He wipes away my pain
Thank you for toddler cries
Man of sorrows, acquainted with grief you begged in the Garden, and you needed relief
Thank you for toddler cries
I cannot ever imagine you as a toddler my King!
The wisemen brought you gold and myrrh & frankincense
There were so many prophecies. Thank you for toddler cries
You understand & you interpret each cry
Whether I’m hungry, thirsty, cold dirty, lonely, confused, you understand!
You understand like no human being, woman or man
Thank you for toddler cries
Thank you Lord for every single means of Grace
Thank you God that my tears are held in a bottle
Thank you God that you get my feelings you understand my sorrows
Thank you for toddler cries
I saw that dad scoop up his little girl
It reminded me of the way you lift me up out of my uncertainties
You won’t leave me alone and you know my cries for relief
You let me stumble and fall so I can learn who to run to
not to run to worldly comforts or any idol, but to turn to you,
my Father …Your arms are better than any cradle
Thank you for toddler cries
I’ll praise the one who’ll look at me with covenant eyes and
I’ll thank you
In that day in heaven there will be no more tears only ceaseless praise
