Veggie Tales for Moms
Natalie and Charlotte love Veggie Tales lately, and one of their favorite DVDs is a collection of vignettes entitled "God Made You Special." It closes with this song by Junior Asparagus (sung here by two kiddos since I couldn't find a YouTube of Junior):
The first time I heard it, it made me cry thinking about how comforting it is to know that God is with me all the time, even on the yucky days when I am not exactly Mother of the Year. So I decided to write a Mom's version. :)
In my bed I start to pray
And tell God all about my day
Verse 1
I woke up rested, girls slept late
A load of laundry done by eight
Had time with God
And cleared my dishes
All my cooking was delicious
Both girls took naps and followed rules
Mommy never lost her cool
Felt full of creativity
Had a great date with the hubby
Chorus
And so it's good to know
How much you love me
It's true, the Bible says you do
You really love me
Your love was with me all throughout my day
Verse 2
I woke up in my toddler's bed
Stuffed animals around my head
Dish piles rise
As does the laundry
Girls are being super naughty
No Bible time, just desperate prayers
No chance to change my underwear
My temper's short, I just can't win
It's a good night to order in!
Chorus 2
And so it's really good to know
How much you love me
It's true, the Bible says you do
You really love me
Your love was with me all throughout my day
Ending
In my bed so quietly
I rest in knowing: God loves me!
