My Name is Anna Lee

 

Breath of life flow through me…

Me, Anna Lee…

Mommy and daddy please realize…

I’m a soul in need…

I may not live long, in this world here…

But while I have life…please let me live near

Near your heart and feel your love…

For I was sent to you for this…

Hold me and give me just one sweet kiss…

It’s not so bad as you may think…

Just one tiny hug then I will go…

Onto heaven, I’m not staying here you know…

Love me, is all I ask…

And then I’ll have completed, my earthly task…

I love you so, that’s why I came…

I’m Anna Lee, yes, that’s my name.

Favor, Grace, yours to embrace…

Maybe not whole, but I’m a living soul,

Sent here from God above.

I am your daughter…

My name, is, Anna Lee.

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;

you formed me in my mother’s womb.

I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!

Body and soul, I am marvelously made!

I worship in adoration—what a creation!

You know me inside and out,

you know every bone in my body;

You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,

how I was sculpted from nothing into something.

Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;

all the stages of my life were spread out before you,

The days of my life all prepared

before I’d even lived one day. Psalm 139:13-16 The Message
