Monday's Mourning Ministry - I Will Carry You ~Todd and Angie Smith and Selah



â


Monday's Mourning Ministry

I Will Carry You

~Todd and Angie Smith

and

Selah



Below is the sweet, inspired song written by Angie Smith as she was carrying her child still, even as she was finding out her child would not live for very long, if at all, once she was born. Heartbreaking yet hope-filled story of Angie and Todd and baby Audrey Caroline follows the song below. Thank you to Todd and Angie for sharing your story.





I Will Carry You

(Audrey's Song)


Selah


There were photographs I wanted to take

Things I wanted to show you

Sing sweet lullabies

Wipe your teary eyes

Who could love you like this?


People say that I am brave but I'm not

Truth is I'm barely hanging on

There's a greater story

Written long before me

Because He loves you like this


I will carry you

while your heart beats here

Long beyond the empty cradle

through the coming years


I will carry you

all my life

I will praise the One who's chosen me

to carry you


Such a short time,

such a long road

All this madness

but I know

that the silence

has brought me to His voice

and He said,


"I've shown her photographs of time beginning

Walked her through the parted sea

Angel lullabies

No more teary eyes

Who could love her like this?


I will carry you

While your heart beats here

Long beyond the empty cradle

Through the coming years


I will carry you

All your life

I will praise the One who's chosen me

to carry you









Testimony of


Todd and Angie Smith


I Will Carry You:

The Sacred Dance of Grief and Joy







He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.


~Psalm 147: 3



May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.


~Romans 15:13
