I suspect that every woman feels the same way I do when the weeks turn into days and the moment of birth is not far away. All I can think about is seeing this new little baby. What will it look like? My arms ache to hold it. Although I know there will be pain in the delivery, I still long for the moment to arrive. The anticipation pushes the fear away.
I don’t know how anyone can experience birth, or even witness a birth, and deny there is a God. It is the miracle of all miracles. The big bang theory just doesn’t cut it when you see that new life slip out and stare wide-eyed at his new world. It is so evident and so absolutely convincing that there is a Creator. How wonderful that we can have a relationship with Him.
I love to talk about birth and hear other woman’s birth stories. This song is the story of my third birth. How beautiful it was. I couldn’t stop thanking my Lord for this experience and for the new life he’d given to my husband and me.

THE MOMENT YOU CAME
Longing to see you,
Every day felt like a week.
And I just wanted to see
Your face.
Yearning to hold you,
When it finally was time
These paths of yours and mine
Forever entwine.
Gentle at first,
Then it grew strong,
And I didn’t know if I could carry on,
I cried out for mercy and I know that God heard me
For oh…
CHORUS:
Divinely and wondrously, amazingly, you came through.
I touched you and I fell so
Tenderly, powerfully, utterly in love with you.
And the joy replaced all the pain
The moment you came.
Now looking at you, every smile you give to me
Is a treasure that I keep in my heart,
I’ve learned so much from you,
Never knew this kind of love,
One that costs so much, but never gives up.
Gentle at first,
Then it grew strong,
And I didn’t know if I could carry on,
I cried out for mercy and I know that God heard me
For oh…
CHORUS:
Divinely and wondrously, amazingly, you came through.
I touched you and I fell so
Tenderly, powerfully, utterly in love with you.
And the joy replaced all the pain
The moment you came.
