Tiny Butterfly Warrior
Tiny Butterfly Warrior: A Tribute to Strength and Unconditional Love
Lyrics
You were the gift we never asked for
You, the child, were unexpected and not requested.
The miracle we could not deserve
Your existence is a miraculous event beyond what we could merit.
And when our family grew from three to four
Our family expanded, and you became the fourth member.
We asked God the kind of life you'd serve
We prayed to God to understand the purpose of your life.
Tiny butterfly warrior
You, symbolized as a tiny butterfly warrior.
You were never meant to live like us
Your life was not meant to be ordinary.
You were made to be stronger
You were destined to be stronger than ordinary beings.
Than anyone could when made from dust
Your strength surpasses that of humans created from dust.
You were fearfully and wonderfully made
You were fearfully and wonderfully created.
Created with a promise which we now on earth proclaim
God made you with a divine promise, which we declare on earth.
True healing comes from God's kingdom
True healing comes from the kingdom of God.
It's in Him you will find rest
Rest is found in Him during times of pain.
In hurting, know He's still good
Even in suffering, recognize God's goodness.
And it's in Him we can find rest
We find rest in God during hardships.
I know you couldn't stay here with us
You couldn't stay long with us.
But I wish that I could hold you one more time
A longing to hold you one more time.
And I'm still learning how to grieve the loss
Learning to cope with the loss.
But your legacy lives on and so will I
Your impact lives on, and so will our strength.

You were made to be stronger

Than anyone could when made from dust
Stronger than those created from dust.
You were fearfully and wonderfully made

Created with a promise which we now on earth proclaim
God's promise embedded in the child's creation.
True healing comes from God's kingdom
Reemphasis on true healing from God's kingdom.
It's in Him you will find rest
Rest found in God amidst pain.
In hurting, know He's still good
Even in hurting, acknowledge God's goodness.
And it's in Him we can find rest
Finding solace and rest in God during challenges.
There's so much you've already taught me
Lessons learned from the child include unconditional love.
How to love unconditionally
Understanding how to love without conditions.
How to accept the things I can't change
Acceptance of things beyond control.
But be strong and fight for what I can
Being resilient and fighting for what can be changed.
There's so much you've already taught me
Reiteration of the child's teachings.
How to love unconditionally
Continued emphasis on unconditional love.
How to accept the things I can't change
Acknowledging limitations and embracing strength.
But be strong and fight for what I can
Remaining strong and advocating for change.
True healing comes from God's kingdom

It's in Him you will find rest
Rest is found in God amid pain and challenges.

In moments of hurting, recognize God's continued goodness.
And it's in Him we can find rest
Finding peace and rest in God during difficult times.
