The Son You Promised

There I was in that little room Heart worn thin and breaking too No answers coming, just tears and time Holding my belly, asking why I whispered prayers nobody knew Words too heavy to make it through Said, “Lord if You hear me, don’t let me go Tell me somehow You still know” Then a stranger walked in, looked in my eyes Like heaven had opened for a moment in time She said, “Child, God heard every word you prayed Even the ones that fear wouldn’t say You are not alone, Heaven’s been near And the son He promised is already here He’s on his way, don’t be afraid Mercy’s been working while you’ve been waiting” And in that moment my shaking stopped Peace came down and my heart unlocked I never asked her how she knew But every word felt holy and true Like God reached down through someone’s hands To remind me He still had plans The room was quiet but my soul was loud All that darkness broke somehow And I held my stomach and finally smiled Thinking of meeting my promised child No thunder rolled, no mountain moved Just a whisper saying, “I never left you” She said, “Child, God heard every word you prayed Even the ones that fear wouldn’t say You are not alone, Heaven’s been near And the son He promised is already here He’s on his way, don’t be afraid Mercy’s been working while you’ve been waiting” And in that moment my shaking stopped Peace came down and my heart unlocked Now when I watch you laugh and grow There’s something I need you to know Before your heartbeat filled this earth God spoke life before your birth You were never chance You were never late You were an answer dressed in grace So son, if you ever lose your way And wonder if God still hears you pray Remember your story started there In a quiet room and answered prayer The God who saw me sees you too And every promise He carries through You were sent when I needed light God was with us that whole long night And when I called out all alone… He answered me By sending you.
