[Verse 1]
Christina, our first born, you are so soft and warm
As you lie between us softly sleeping
We gaze in admiration at God's tiny creation
And thank him and ask for your safekeeping

You were conceived through love, you are a part of us
Christina, you are a dream come true
We'll place you in God's hands and place you in our plans
Christina, we'll take good care of you

[Chorus]
And as we watch you grow, we will always let you know
How much we love you, Christina
We'll take pride in all you do and we will always stand by you
Because we love you, Christina, Christina

[Verse 2]
You made our house a home, brought joy we've never known
Christina, we love you so
With innocence sweet and fair blue eyes and angel hair
Through the years we'll watch you as you grow

We'll hold your little hand we'll love you all we can
We'll try to teach you right from wrong
You are God's gift to us, we can't thank Him enough
For letting us have you for our own

[Chorus]
And as we watch you grow, we will always let you know
How much we love you, Christina
We'll take pride in all you do and we will always stand by you
Because we love you Christina, Christina
Christina
