Many hopeful moms and dads
try to have a child of their own
Some never get the chance
Others do and see them grown
And there are those
who are expectin'
that precious baby soon
But then it's gone before
it ever leaves
the safety of its mama's womb
Jesus has a rockin' chair
And he holds
that precious baby
with oh such tender care
He takes the place
of mom and dad
He's the greatest parent
a child could have
Don't worry 'bout
the children there
Jesus has a rockin' chair
There are those
who have a boy or girl
A lovely gift of God
But sickness or a tragedy
takes them from
their parent's arms
Mama's wish for
days gone by
Daddies long for
that lost child
But children are not lost
When you know
where they are
She was eighteen
and unmarried
Expectin' her little one
But in her time of confusion
she took the life of her son
Since then Jesus forgave her
And he took all
her shame away
But still she cries
missin' her baby
As she hears the angels say
Jesus has a rockin' chair
And he holds
that precious baby
with oh such tender care
He takes the place
of mom and dad
He's the greatest parent
a child could have
Don't worry 'bout
the children there
Jesus has a rockin' chair
He takes the place
of mom and dad
He's the greatest parent
a child could have
Don't worry 'bout
the children there
Jesus has a rockin' chair
