CGA808 Love Enough to Give
Description
The first three stanzas of this text recall the stories of three mothers who love their children enough to let them go: Jochebed (Exodus 2: 1-10 and 6: 20), Hannah (1 Samuel 1), and Mary (Luke 2). The last stanza is a prayer asking God to give the same 'hope, faith, and love' when it is time to let our children go.
