Gift Worth Saving

Gift Worth Saving
(Jacob R. McGowen)

[1st Verse]
It only feels like it was yesterday
When I first held you in my arms
When I first saw your eyes
And your sweet face
And vowed not to do you any harm

[Pre-Chorus]
For as you grew taller and older
And had your laughter and your tears
I was there to hold and guide you
And help you navigate your fears
So, what I want you to hear is…

[Chorus]
You were never a burden
You’re my joy, you’re my blessing
Baby, you are a gift
That was worth saving
You were never a burden
You’re my joy, you’re my blessing
Baby, you are a gift
That is worth saving

[2nd Verse]
In this life, there will be mountains
That you will always have to climb
You will have trials
You will have sadness
And you’ll have times
When you will cry

[Pre-Chorus]
But, baby I will be here for you
You can call me night or day
And when you think no one will listen
I’ll hear all you have to say
For the truth that will remain is…

[2nd Chorus]
Baby, you’re not a burden
You’re my joy, you’re my blessing
Baby, you are a gift
One for who I’m praying
Baby you’re not a burden
You’re my joy, you’re my blessing
Baby, you are a gift
That is worth saving

[Bridge]
Worth loving, worth holding
Through every storm
Worth guiding, worth teaching
Worth praying for
Worth loving, worth holding
Through every storm
Worth guiding, worth teaching
Worth fighting for

[Outro]
Baby, as you grow older
And when you no longer have me
And when this life gets hard
And this world gets crazy
When I’m with God our Father
We’ll be watching you daily
For you are a gift
Baby, you are a gift
That is worth saving
