Every night, P makes sure I lay in her bed with her and we sing "Sweet Jesus" together and pray before she goes to sleep. Since I forgot to get my picture done earlier in the week (or even earlier in the day!), I figured it would be nice to document this sweet time with my Princess. I learned this song when I was just a kid and we were visiting my Aunt and Uncle in VT. There were a group of Jamaican workers up there picking apples and I remember hearing this song. We have sung it ever since. So simple...yet so good.
Sweet Jesus, Sweet Jesus what a wonder you are,
You are brighter than the Morning Star
You are fairer much fairer than the lily that grows by the wayside

Very sweet pic! Braden always asks us to "Lay with me for a minute please." So cute!
What a sweet moment!
What a sweet picture and sweet memory. Our jaws hurt from singing it over and over but it stuck with us in our hearts. Mom
It is neat that we have sung that to all of our kids. SJ said she has even been singing it to Baby I. Sweet moment to capture. I am so impressed with your dedication to this blog!!
That is a sweet picture and sweet story!
I love that last snuggle time before bed! We sing "Baby Mine" or "All Through the Night" most nights. What a sweet sweet picture! Love the joy on her face!
