Music To My Ears

One of my Mother's Day gifts was the new Steven Curtis Chapman CD, This Moment. Hubby bought the CD for the song, "Cinderella." (If you haven't heard it yet, you MUST visit the SCC web site and listen to it!) But another song, "One Heartbeat At A Time," has quickly become my favorite. Not only is it amazingly appropriate for Mother's Day, it happens to be exactly what I need to hear at this moment in my life so I wanted to share the lyrics with you here. Hopefully they will be as powerful a reminder to other moms as it was to me:

One Heartbeat at a Time
by Steven Curtis Chapman from the album This Moment

You're up all night with a screaming baby
You run all day at the speed of life
And every day you feel a little bit less
Like the beautiful woman you are
So you fall into bed when you run out of hours
And you wonder if anything worth doing got done
Oh, maybe you just don't know
Or maybe you've forgotten

You, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time
Making history with every touch and every smile
Oh, you, you may not see it now
But I believe that time will tell
How you, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time

With every "I know you can do it"
Every tear that you kiss away
So many little things that seem to go unnoticed
They're just like the drops of rain over time
They become a river

And you, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time
Making history with every touch and every smile
Oh, you, you may not see it now
But I believe that time will tell
How you, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
How you're changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time
Making history with every touch and every smile
Oh, you, you may not see it now
But I believe that time will tell
How you, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time

And you're changing the world
