"On this day"-Isaac Quek

The gift of your heart,
The gift of your life,
God's unfolding dream for you,
Blazes brighter with every turn
The growing of
Hope, of Joy, of Healing and a good blessing
Growing into the woman you've become
Rising into the woman you've yet to be
On this day God sent down a blessing
To rest in my heart
He sent true friend, irreplaceable, precious in you
On this day the angels celebrate the blessing that is you
and we join with full hearts
in Jesus' celebration too
all that you've been
all that you've seen
these 24 quick measures of time
cannot compare with the glory
that in your destiny shines
He smiles, waiting
your heart ever patiently dscovering
His God-divine surprise
His delight of heart with which He made
How He rejoiced over
When His mind had planned,
and thoughts designed
and hands fashioned you.
No eye has seen, no heart has learnt
the glory which in chambers of light
within His heart abides
But you will learn and you will know
today-a part of the joy with which
His eternal heart rejoiced
When He fathered you this day,
in eternity 24 years ago.
