From the recording Love Along The Way

In cart Not available Out of stock

Recording this song was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. It isn't often that I get a song from another writer who has been able to write and embrace my feelings, my wants, my deepest pain and my desire to have what I have been unable to have.

I've always tried to be open, honest and vulnerable with my audience about who I am and what I feel, but this, by far, is one of the hardest things I've ever had to share. After over 15 years of marriage and being unable to conceive, my husband and I are trying to rest and be at peace in knowing that God has a perfect plan for us. And whether He brings us a child biologically or through the wonderful gift of adoption, His timing is always perfect.

I just pray this song touches people out there and that it helps all of us to realize that there is no such thing as an unwanted child.

Lyrics

I Would Die For That
(Kellie Coffey, Tria Harmon & James Slater)

Jenny was my best friend
Went away one summer
Came back with a secret
She just couldn't keep
A child inside her was just too much for her
So she cried herself to sleep

And she made a decision
Some find hard to accept
Too young to know that one day
She might live to regret

But I would die for that
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that she had
I would die for that

I've been given so much
A husband that I love
So why do I feel incomplete
With every test and checkup
We're told not to give up
He wonders if it's him
And I wonder if it's me

All I want is a family
Like everyone else I see
And I won't understand it
If it's not meant to be

Cause I would die for that
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that they have
I would die for that

And I want to know what it's like
To bring a dream to life
For that kind of love
What I'd give up
I would die for that

Sometimes it's hard to conceive
With all that I've got and all I've achieved
What I want most before my time is gone
Is to hear the words I love you, Mom

I would die for that
Just to have once chance
To hold in my hands
What so many have
I would die for that

And I want to know what it's like
To bring a dream to life
How I would love
What some give up.
I would die
I would die for that.
