Our precious girl is growing up so fast.
She can do more each day than she did the last--
Birdie perches, tumbles, forwards and back,
Building the train station, laying the track,
Talking a blue streak, making jokes, too,
Our girl is fun up to Kalamazoo!

Using that potty, dressing herself,
And she can put her toys on the shelf!
Sorting silverware, wiping the table,
Rinsing the dishes, our big girl is able!

Don't big girls need a big God? we ask."
How thankful we are, our Lord is more than up to that task!
Watching, protecting, guiding our pearl,
Oh Lord, we trust You with our darling girl!

We praise Your power, Your Truth and Love,
Oh Lord, please guide her with grace from above!
Show our big girl what "big" really is:
You are Infinity!  Can we grasp how big that is???

Fill her big eyes with the immense power of your glory.
Fill her big heart with vast love from the Gospel story.
Fill her big mind with Your boundless wisdom and truth.
Fill her life with a big purpose from You!
