Visitor From Heaven-Twila Paris

A visitor from heaven
If only for awhile
A gift of love to be returned
We think of you and smile
A visitor from heaven
Accompanied by grace
Reminding of a better love
And of a better place
With aching hearts and empty arms
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came
A visitor from heaven
If only for a day
We thank Him for the time He gave
And now it's time to say
We trust you to the Fathers love
And to His tender care
Held in the everlasting arms
And we're so glad you're there
We're so glad you're there
With breaking hearts and open hands
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came

This song was played at a memorial service I attended today for a friend who lost her 5 month old little boy. Tonight I am thinking of and missing Dawson so very much. It is amazing how in a moment a song can bring you back. I have not heard this song in years, but found such peace in hearing it today.
