lyrics

Mama you gave her life
in the high heat of a hot august day
unto a child a child is born

And as you heard her cry
as they carried her away
the birth of a new joy took form

as she comes and goes, she comes and goes

Papa she turned your world
on its head as she stole your heart
slain by a creature so small

And you held on so tight
to the back of the bike that she learned
so quickly to pedal away

as she comes and goes, she comes and goes

And to us she was given
as a leader a friend and a foe
all four of us shaped by her grace

And the debt that we owe
to her patience, her guidance
you know we could never repay or replace

and she comes and goes, she comes and goes

And unto you
proven worthy and true of her love
we pray you are set to receive today

This most precious of gifts
you could never have felt your deserve
thank God he don't give gifts that way

For indeed she is His, and her life
ever is in His hand
that you may never have fear

For as sure as He lives
so His strength too He gives
so beside her He has called you to stand

as she comes and goes,

as she comes and goes
