ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE

In Memory of Garrett Hanson


Who can say, the ways of the Father
Who can really know what each moment brings
We live by faith, put our trust in God
But life throws us curves and sometimes it?s hard
And there are times when we don?t understand

We counted the days, prepared for your arrival
We could hardly wait to see you face to face
You were beautiful like we knew you?d be
But God called for you before He called for me
And we cry tears of joy because you?re where we long to be

And you?re singing holy, holy, holy with the angels
Dancing ?round the throne
Running and playing with God?s other children
Up in your new heavenly home

So we give thanks to the Father and thanks to the Son
And we really can?t help but smile
?Cause you were our little miracle from heaven
If only for a little while

And someday we?ll see you again
Will you save us a seat at the table
We?ll make up for the time we?ve missed
And we?ll all be together

Singing holy, holy, holy with the angels
Dancing ?round the throne
Running and playing with the other children
Up in your new heavenly home

You?re singing holy, holy, holy with the angels
Dancing ?round the throne
Running and playing with God?s other children
Up in your new heavenly home

So we give thanks to the Father and thanks to the Son
And we really can?t help but smile
?Cause you were our little miracle from heaven
If only for a little while
