Precious Cargo (feat. Margaret Oliver)

Yesterday, she felt the baby move
Like a butterfly, deep inside
A life within her own
And she knows the words the angel spoke are true
And although it seems that all her dreams
Like butterflies have flown
Still she knows the deepest peace she has ever known

For this child is precious cargo
Though all that the world will see is the shame
A life changed by a miracle won't ever be the same
Oh this child her precious cargo
He is the twinkle in God's eye
And that peace will keep her through the storm
As the days go by

And now she knows the looks will soon begin
As she starts to show, the waves will grow
But what will be will be
And although the days to come are dark and dim
With a mother's love, she'll rise above
The wild and stormy sea
And she knows the deepest love there can ever be

For this child is precious cargo
Though all that the world will see is the shame
A life changed by a miracle won't ever be the same
Oh this child her precious cargo
He is the twinkle in God's eye
And that peace will keep her through the storm
As the days go by

For all she knows she'll face the task alone
Like a boat that's lost who knows what cost
The saying yes will bring?
Though the journey leads to shores as yet unknown
She must leave the warm, and face the storm
But still her spirit sings
For she knows the child she bears is the King of Kings

For this child is precious cargo
Though all that the world will see is the shame
A life changed by a miracle won't ever be the same
Oh this child her precious cargo
He is the twinkle in God's eye
And that peace will keep her through the storm
As the days go by
