Track 1 Made for Him Sculptured with love from your head to your toe, God s joy in making you, who can know? Chiseled hands and feet and two small eyes, and a heart as big as the wide blue sky. You're made for Him; you're a love story. Created one, you are made for God's glory. You soared forth from the great mind of God, fresh dove from heaven, just look at you! I will praise the LORD daily, for you are so fearfully, wonderfully made, unique through and through. CHORUS 2 Be Still and Rest They that look upon him are radiant. Psalm 34:5 Be still and rest in the LORD; wait for Him, and patiently stay yourself upon Him. Psalm 37:7 They that look to the LORD are radiant. Rest then, in His gaze. Put a smile, a sweet smile on your face for Him, and love Him all of your days. Be still, and rest in the Lord. Look to Him and trust in His ways. Oh, be still and rest in the Lord, and love Him all of your days. 3 Your God Knoweth It Matthew 10:29-31 and Psalm 121 If a sparrow falls to the ground, your God knoweth it. If a hair on your head is not found, your God knoweth it. When you sleep, He slumbers not, He watches over you. For nobody knows like God in the highest all about you.
4 Evening Song (Adapted from Brahms Lullaby) Psalm 91 The sun has gone, day is through, soon God's shadow shall cover you, Dwell now under His great wing; hush, listen now, He sings: My secret places are for you, far from the evil one's view. Worry not, nor be afraid; in My wings you are laid. 5 We Love Jesus (The Parents' Song) We love Jesus, and we love you. We go to God for the strength and the wisdom to love you with God's love too. For we love Jesus, and we love you. God gave us Jesus to wash our sins away. Those holding you love the Lord. God's love for you will always stay. We pray as you grow to know Jesus, you'll ask Him in your heart one day. 6 Hush, Don't You Fret Hush, don't you fret; you're the apple of God's eye. He's working out a plan for you high up in the sky. He knew you before the world was born. So hush now, don't you fret, He'll keep you 'til morn. 7 Wake Up, Little Babe (A Lullahello ) For out of the mouths of infants, God has perfected praise. Psalm 8:2 Wake up, little babe, for out of your mouth God is raising up praise. Wake up, little babe, God worked in the night to make a brand new day. Wake up, sing and play, yes, lift up your head; worship God in your glorious way. Wake up, little babe, for out of your mouth God is raising up praise.
8 Blessings on Your Head Blessings on your sweet tiny head; I lay my hand on you before you go to bed. I bless you with the will to grow wise, and may you set no evil thing before your eyes. Bless you with the strength of an ox, and may your mind be as sharp as a baby fox. Be as gentle as a lamb, always worship the great I AM, and carry those blessings on your sweet tiny head. I bless you in the name of the Lord, our God. The blessings of the LORD be upon you all your days. For blessed is the one who fears the LORD. Remember to walk in His ways. I bless you with the courage of a mama bear for her cub. May your heart soar high like a flying dove. CHORUS 9 Let Go. Little One You struggle against entering rest. So I, too, struggle on God's breast. Oh, why do we pitch and toss so, when we need to just let go? Let go, little one, let go. Into His plan let go. There's no better place for us to be for all eternity. 10 Better Arms than These Quiet you lie in your mother's arms; held fast, resting in peace. But you're kept, my dear, against all the world's fears, in better arms than these. My arms hold you now, God's hold you forever, so rest now in His peace. For you're kept, my dear, against all the world's fears, in better arms than these. In the morn I will cuddle you close to my heart, while God cradles us in His great peace. So for now, sleep tight, kept from all the world's fears, in better arms than these.
11 God Is Everywhere with You God is everywhere with you; you're never out of view. Your every breath is His own. He's your everlasting home. God is everywhere with you; you walk two by two. From birth to death, you're never left, cause God is everywhere with you.
