Lyrics

She got the news today that she's in the family way
Her heart is full of joy whether a girl or boy
A wealth of life unfolds
Fullness of joy untold

She was a promise, then a daughter, then a woman, then a mother
She was a promise, then a daughter, then a woman, then a mother
She was a promise, then a daughter, then a woman, then a mother

A baby, a new and wondrous life begun
You are a promise cultivating in the sun
A precious gift of love
Sent from heaven above

She was a promise, then a daughter, then a woman, then a mother
She was a promise, then a daughter, then a woman, then a mother
She was a promise, then a daughter, then a woman, then a mother

The questions cloud her mind
How soon, which way, what kind?
She prays to God an earnest prayer
Knowing her burdens He would bear
She wants to hold you and never let you fall
But through God's wisdom she conquers all

All of her hopes and dreams come true
And now her promise starts with you
Through faith she conquers doubts and fears
She prays for you through silent tears

She was a promise, then a daughter, then a woman, then a mother
She was a promise, then a daughter, then a woman, then a mother
She was a promise, then a daughter, then a woman, then a mother
