"Joshua, God's Design"
A Special Needs Child
by Cherlyn J. Clifton
I met you and I knew that God had blessed you,
In a strange and mysterious way.
Our meeting was so brief,
but my love continued to grow.
Through my thoughts of you, my prayers for you,
I have seen new love, new peace and joy.
The sound of your laughter still sings to my heart,
God's love swells within my soul.
I embraced you and you looked inside my spirit,
I gazed in awe and silence,
I saw Jesus in your eyes.
I gave my life to Jesus;
Surrendered Lordship over all,
Then began to regret years passed,
Confused without the call.
He's shown me to cherish my life,
Empty as well as full.
For at first I had been blind in my heart.
His revealing makes me whole.
I can wish I could have known you before.
I'll trust in God's perfect timing.
For eyes without His vision can't see it;
That spirit so compelling.
The Jesus in your eyes,
Brings content that's overwhelming.
There are those who are unknowing,
They're unwilling to concede.
They think you're not worth knowing,
In their lives there is no need.
They should look and learn compassion,
Godly love, so free and clear.
If they would seek it they would find it.
Through your eyes they could see Jesus,
And His blessings would appear.
When God calls you home,
Your crowns you will receive.
Our Father will embrace you,
For your sacrifice so rare.
You've drawn them, and touched them,
And blessed them with your presence.
You have His righteousness,
And you have known no sin.
I believe that is why,
My soul saw Jesus deep within.
As Lord Jesus pulls you to Him,
As our Father watches on,
All of heavens host rejoicing,
Praising Him in joyful song.
He will lead you to the mansion,
He's prepared there, just for you.
You'll be perfect just like Jesus,
Soul and Spirit, and body too!
"Well done my good and faithful child,"
Surely Father God shall speak.
He knows the hearts you've changed,
And that no doubt is why,
That in His infinite wisdom,
He put Jesus in your eyes.
