for those days we don't feel like trying

Beautiful Girl
Trapped in this crazy old world
You just want to live
You have so much to give
And you are so loved

Sing,
Sing to me now.
Your voice is a beacon
For a world trapped in silence.
Dance
All around
For when you twirl around
Your Father's smiles and says
"You are so loved."

Wonderful child
Tripping over your own feet again
Your beauty and grace
Shine out through your face
When you smile for Him

Sing,
Sing to me now.
Your voice is a beacon
For a world trapped in silence.
Dance
All around
For when you twirl around
Your Father smiles and says
"You are so loved"

Take these hands
Move my feet
God, You are the one I live for.
Make me cry
Give me Your life
Make me all that I can be

Sing,
Sing to me now.
Your voice is a beacon
For a world trapped in silence.
Dance
All around
For when you twirl around
Your Father smiles and says
"You are so loved."

Pointe

Your toes ache,
Your legs shake,
Your arms are numb for hours.
Your blisters pop,
Yet you don't stop
Till victory is yours.

The Dancing Girl

Such potential greatness
In such a small, young child.
It kills me to repress
The memories of your smile.

Sweet little girl
Dance around your room.
Did you ever suspect
The fate to unfurl?

Teenaged wonder,
Gorgeous all around.
Clothed in God's splendor
With beauty to abound.

Sweet young beauty
Dance upon your stage.
Such talent radiating through her
Even at a young age.

Then came that final moment.
I wonder of you knew
How much we all would miss you
When all was done and through.

Sweet little angel
Dance upon the clouds.
Fly away to Jesus
And make your family proud.
