This song was penned by my spiritual mom's daughter as a tribute to her. She was a wonderful, warm and giving person who touched everyone she came in contact with.
Lyrics
I Arise To Call You Blessed
You were there to hold my hand
When I first learned to walk
And hear my endless ramlbling
When I first learned to talk
But in every precious moment
Of when it all began
The thing that I hold dearest
Is that I could call you friend
Bridge:
So, I arise to call you blessed
As a tribute of my love
And watch your quiet spirit
Give glory to The Son
Yes, I arise to call you blessed
For what you've meant to me
The legacy, the treasure, my eternity
Verse Two
Now I have held my childrens' hands
As they have learned to walk
And heard their endless rambling
As they have learned to talk
But I pray the path I lead them to
Before this journey ends
Will be the straight and narrow road
And the Lord will be their friend
Bridge Two:
When they arise to call Him blessed
A tribute of their love
And with words of praise profess
Allegiance to The Son
For it's in that special moment
So tender and so sweet
The circle that began with you
At last is made complete
Chorus:
I arise to call you blessed!
I arise to call you blessed!
I arise to call you blessed!
The joy of a mother's love
And my Father's faithfulness
