We provide a resting place for preborn children who now live with Jesus.
Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you..."
Jeremiah 1:4-5
Precious children, God’s creation, formed in His love,
Resting now in heaven’s cradle, safe home above.
Angel guardians watch are keeping
O’er His babies, softly sleeping
No more dying, no more weeping;
Cradle of Life.
Wondrous life though small and fragile, treasure most rare.
When your tiny form was fashioned, Jesus was there.
His the voice that named and knew you;
His the love that claimed and cleansed you;
His the plan, a place prepared you,
Cradle of Life.
Peaceful waters gently flowing, down on their way,
Sparkling ever in the sunlight, bright’ning the day;
Resting in the cross’s shadow,
Promise of a grand tomorrow,
Heaven’s glory soon will follow;
Cradle of Life.
Little ones serenely slumber, Jesus is here.
Angel hosts in countless number always are near;
Wings outstretched in kindness gentle
Lullabies to soothe and settle,
While you rock within your cradle;
Cradle of Life.
