"Little One, That Was Me"

lyrics and music by Pastor Sharron Scott

Oh Lord, my God

I long to see your face

Oh Lord, my God

I long to hear your voice

Oh Lord, my god

I long to feel the touch of your hand

Oh Lord, my God

I long to feel your love......

Oh, little one

How can you still not see

Oh, little one

the gift I gave to you?

Oh, little one

How can you still not hear

Oh, little one

Don't you know what you mean to me?

Remember when you sat

at the bedside of your dying best friend?

You held her hand so tightly, and looked into her eyes

You sang a beautiful song to her of peace and rest

she reached up to Me and smiled through her pain

Well, little one, that was me.

Remember when you laughed and played and

held your grandchildren near

Remember the feeling of your grandson's heartbeat

as you carried him in your arms?

Remember how they kissed you and hugged you

and how you wept when they said goodbye?

Well, little one, that was Me.

Remember when you finally embraced your sister

After more than 30 years? Remember the joy, and then

The sweet agony of saying goodbye? Do you feel the deep

Love all over again as you see the pictures of you two

Wrapped in each other’s arms? Well in those tears,

Dearest little one, that was me.

Remember when you suffered such pain

and just lay in bed that day

And the man you love laid his hand

upon your foot so gently and prayed?

Remember that next day when your pain

had gone away? No more crutches, no

more splint,

Well, little one, that was Me.

I am here, little one. You just need eyes to see

I am here, little one. Can you hear me?

I am here, little one. Reach out and hold my hand.

We are here together, little one.

I hope now you understand.
