"Child of God", the song

A song in memory of Stefan Mueller, 1990-2009, my son, celebrating our hope in Christ. As we celebrate Easter in just a few days, we are reminded that we live in the expectation of that day of resurrection.

Our pastor's daughter Kristin is traveling with Crew Ministries, a musical group sponsored by Lutheran Church Canada. She wrote, composed and performs this song below in memory of Stefan, who was her friend. Yesterday, we heard about it and received a CD of the song. Find the group and their CD here.

Thank you very much, Kristin. It is very comforting. The Lord be with you in your travels.

Here are the words:

Child of God

A child of God
created by the Father
and washed clean by the Son.

He holds you now
in his arms he loves and keeps you.
And someday there will come,
and someday there will come--the day:
when there will be no more death nor mourning
no more crying nor pain
for you will wipe every tear from my eyes.

A child of God,
loved by those around him.
and now he is gone.

The Lord holds you now
and his arms he loves and keeps you.
And some day there will come the day
when there will be no more death nor mourning
no more crying no pain
for you will wipe every tear from my eyes.
