He Held Me Up

June 22, 2010 by Guest Author 6 Comments

Brown eyes just like mine,
Shined right back into my own
In the strong arms of my daddy,
I knew that he would not let go
He smiled and I smiled,
And all was right within the world
He held me up within his arms,
His brand new little girl

Brown eyes that were mine,
Shined right back into my own
Though the face now in the mirror,
Seemed as one I did not know
I wiped the endless tears,
And all was wrong within the world
I held myself up, I watched myself fall,
So young, and yet so old

Brown eyes just like mine,
Stared right back into my own
In my weak arms I held daddy,
I told him I would not let go
He gasped for breath, I cried
And all felt wrong within the world
I held him up, my dying daddy,
Still inside his little girl

His heart, just like mine,
Broke as if it were my own
In the strong arms of my Father,
He would not let me let go
He gave me Christ, I cried,
and I had more than the whole world
He held my up, my living Father,
His brand new little girl

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
