Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Wonderfully Made (by JD Cunningham)

I see in his eyes proof that he’s mine
And his smile is the same one she’s given me so many times

And each time he laughs I can’t help but cry
Cause the world’s bound to hurt him no matter how hard I try

And I try to remember though I still can’t conceive
That he belongs to you more than he ever will me

For you created his inmost being
Knit together in his mother's womb
And his frame was never hidden from you in a secret place
From the depths of the earth you saw his body form
And ordained every step of his days
So I praise you for he is fearfully and wonderfully made
And I know full well your works are wonderful

I may never know and surely won’t understand
The path that you chose to take this boy down to become a man

But please make him faithful and God make him brave
And grant me the wisdom to point him back to your ways

And all through the years as his little heart grows
Lord pierce it with love so that some day he’ll know

That you created his inmost being
Knit together in his mother's womb
And his frame was never hidden from you in a secret place
From the depths of the earth you saw his body form
And ordained every step of his days
And he’ll praise you for he is fearfully and wonderfully made
And he’ll know full well your works are wonderful

Lord I praise you for he is fearfully and wonderfully made
And I know full well your works are wonderful

Psalm 139:
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be


**I was crusing through some blogs the other day and happened upon this one from a lady named Myra. She is a mom of an autistic boy with their own set of struggles. She had this song posted on her blog and it struck a chord with me. The Scripture verses that this song is written from were the ones that Michael and I meditated on when we first found out that Moses had Downs Syndrome. The fact that even though he wasn't "perfect" in the worlds eyes didn't even factor into our thoughts about him. We are convinced that our Father gave Moses to us perfectly - with no mistakes or imperfections. We accept him because he is our child, our flesh and blood and we LOVE him.

Moses has been on my mind alot this past week. Maybe because I was home for break, just Abraham and I... and I had time to reflect as I watched Abraham play and interact with other children. I sometimes get wistful and wish for just one more day with my Moses. My heart just aches to see him and hold him - to have him with me for just one day. In my head I know that his life on earth would have been a struggle. There would have been a number of heart surgeries that he would have needed and daily, one on one care. But you know what? I'd give my right arm if he could be here and be healthy. Yet as much as I miss him and shed tears for my own personal sadness, I have a hope that I will one day see him again and be reunited wtih him. He has a perfect body and is running like he never would have run here on earth.

We are truly blessed to have been entrusted with sweet Abraham. He is an amazing miracle and gift to us. Our Father has showered us constantly with His peace and comfort each time that we get missing Moses. He is faithful and we are grateful for that.
