Walk Tall, You're a Daughter of God


Not being around my daughters for a few days - and knowing the older two will be gone more and more as they go off to college - has made me really miss them this week. Below is the song I used to sing to them. It was my favorite 'lullaby.' [I don't recall singing to the boys (sorry guys), just humming whatever came to mind.] I learned this song as a teenager at girls' camp. I was listening to it this morning in the car and got a little teary. I just want them to know that it is still my wish for them as they move on in life.

Walk tall

Be strong

Remember who you are.

Love, Mom.


"Right now I have a prayer deep within my heart,
A prayer for each of you there is a special part.
That you remember who you are and He who lives above.
Please seek for him and live his ways; You'll feel his love.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Walk tall, you're a daughter, a child of God,
Be strong and remember who you are,
Try to understand, you're part of his great plan.
He's closer than you know, Reach up; he'll take your hand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long before the time you can remember,
Our Father held you in his arms so tender.
Those loving arms released you as he sent you down to earth.
He said, "My child, I love you. Don't forget your great worth."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walk tall, you're a daughter, a child of God,
Be strong and remember who you are,
Try to understand, you're part of his great plan.
He's closer than you know, Reach up; he'll take your hand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This life on earth we knew would not be easy.
At times we lose our way his path we may not see.
But remember always that you are not alone.
He'll take your hand, He loves you! He will guide you home.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walk tall, you're a daughter, a child of God,
Be strong and remember who you are,
Try to understand, you're part of his great plan.
He's closer than you know, Reach up; he'll take your hand."

You can here it and other songs by clicking here. They sing it a little faster than I do. But, they're not thinking lullaby.
