You're the Best Song I'll Ever Write

Dear Gigi,

I found this song that so closely expresses what I feel about you (and all my babies) that I have to save it, share it and even explain it  bit to you.  I've posted the link of a live performance by the artist but here are the lyrics.

Good Morning, You and the sun the sun are up, before I'm ready.
But ready or not, you need me,  So here I am 
I am learning that in the long hard days
There is beauty
You know my favorite place to see is
Its when I look at you.  
And though Im tired now,
you're worth every sleepless night.
You're worth it all because I know 
Chorus
You're the best song I'll ever write.
And we're humming and dancing through the years together
You're the best song I'll ever write
And I pray you"ll hear Jesus in it
When you're older 
I remember when you were just a heart beat that I heard
and now our eyes meet, forever
It's not enough to love you.  
Chorus  
Every  prayer for you is like a seed in the ground
Every tear I cry is like rain.
And in it's due season, I pray a harvest will be found
Your heart and mouth confessing Jesus' name
Your heart and mouth confessing Jesus' name. 
Chorus 

This song speaks so much loves and describes a little bit how much I love you. I love you with all my heart. My mind is constantly thinking of you.  From the moment I discovered I was going to have a baby until now, you are in my thoughts and my thoughts are of a deep love for you.

There is nothing you will ever do, ever say, no place you will ever go that will cause me to stop loving you.  I will always love you.  I will never purposely cause you harm, never purposely discourage your dreams.  I confess, I am a selfish person, limited and lacking, and yet I would move heaven and earth, if I could, to show you love.  My precious child, I will do everything in my power to protect you, comfort you and encourage you to what God has planned for you.

What does God have to do this? Everything!  My love for you, although great is imperfect. My love is a grain of sand in the sea of love God has for you. God's love is perfect and his thoughts of you are infinite.
Psalm 139:17-18 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them, Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. 
That is only a very small picture of what God's love is like. His love allows me to love you at  a human capacity. His love is so much greater.  He loved you so much that he gave his precious child up to save you. I am understanding this mystery at a deeper level now, because of you.  How could I ever give you up?!? Never!  I love you too much. Yet God gave up His only child, so that we could know Him.
 Romans 8:32
"He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all---how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?' 
You see we were separated from God. Because God is perfect and we are not. We are separated because God is Holy. But God provided a way. He sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for you!

John 3:17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
You see, Jesus made a way for an unholy world to be with a Holy God, for an imperfect people to be with a perfect God, for the broken soul to be made whole again.

So my prayer for you is that you will one day understand this love, you will understand your need for a savior.   This love is greater than any love you will ever know and it will fulfill you more than anything else you'll ever find.   I pray my actions toward you will point you to God.

I pray that as you get older you will come to know this truth, and each day grow in knowledge of His love.
