‘Baby Talk’ by Justin Underwood

As babies, we chanted the melodies of our heart—–gah, gah, goo, goo; Fearfully and wonderfully made, the hymns of our soul were dedicated to You.

For we who are nothing in ourselves are everything in God, Innocent and impoverished in order to be enriched in His nutritious sod. Like a rosebud in God’s garden blossoming in His own sweet time, What a precious and perfect design from a kind heart and beautiful mind.

In our truest nature, God breathed such divine words of praise into our lungs, His sparkling light enamored the longing hearts of others without distinctions. Without thought, we were just being what we were born to be, Without thought, the rhythm of life and love poured out passionately.

Day after day and year after year, we basked in the sunshine and were watered in the rain, With our every step,we labored with Christ and felt the weight of His pain. From the cradle to the grips of the grave, we’ve realized that we’re not alone, God is there and He’s listening to baby talk——-a pauper’s song.

Safe in His arms, safe by His love, and safe on His gentle breast, We gah-gah and goo-goo all our days that the sweetness of our soul may rest.
