Song For Emmie - Anna Jansson

This song is based on Anna's experience when her 9-month-old baby girl was taken from her by the system. Anna fought to bring her home again, leaning on God to protect her and send His peace in the storm while they waited. The little girl was finally released back to her parents at age 5. This song was written back in 2009 during the struggle - the final chorus was written when she came home in 2013.
LYRICS:
Thank You for the gift You gave that I don't deserve
I feel her in my arms right now when I close my eyes
Her smile, it makes me warm inside - I'm missing her so bad
And I'm not there to comfort her when she's feeling sad
That's why I beg You...
Please keep her safe, I put her in Your hand
Tell us what to do, make us understand
Lead us in our struggle, lead us through the pain
We will keep on fighting, take us through the rain
Take us through the rain
She's beautiful in every way
That's how You made her
There is a hole inside my heart
It hurts because we love her
Please keep her safe....
It's easy to hate, it's easy to fear
How can we forgive the things that we hear
The pain you've cost, why do you choose
To take the truth and fake a lie?
Please keep her safe....
You kept her safe, always in Your hand
You always had a plan we didn't understand
You led us through our struggle
Led us through our pain
You helped us keep on fighting
Led us through the rain
She's back with us again
