Dearest Emily,
          When we lived in Germany (in the late 80's) I met a really wonderful woman who shared cassette tapes with me, that her family sent from her hometown Christian radio station. I played those songs a lot, and although the tape I had was lost when we moved back to the U.S., I never forgot that "Somewhere in the World" there (were) are a young woman, and two young men growing up who would someday seek a Godly partner for life.
          My prayer is that as I prayed for them, someone somewhere was praying for you. Somewhere in the world, a little boy has said his prayers, and when you meet, you will both know it's meant to be... "There's going to be a tender love, founded in eternal love above" ... and that's what it's all about.
          Keep the faith, sweetheart.

                                                                 Love, Mom

Somewhere in the World

Happy 18th Birthday, Emily. Wayne Watson
Somewhere in the world today,
a little girl will go out to play
All dressed up in Mama's clothes,
at least the way that I suppose it goes
Somewhere in the world tonight,
before she reaches to turn out the light
She'll be praying from her tender heart,
a simple prayer that's a work of art
And I don't even know her name,
but I'm praying for her just the same
That the Lord will write
His name upon her heart...
'Cuz somewhere in the course of this life,
my little boy will need a Godly wife
So hold on to Jesus, baby, wherever you are...

Somewhere in the world out there,
that little girl is learning how to care
She's picking up her mama's charms,
or maybe swinging 'round in her Daddy's arms
Somewhere in the world to be,
though the future's not real clear to me
There's going to be a tender love,
founded in eternal love above

And I don't even know her name, but I'm praying for her just the same
That the Lord will write His name upon her heart...
'Cuz somewhere in the course of his life,
my little boy will need a Godly wife
So hold on to Jesus, baby, wherever you are...
And so hold on to Jesus, wherever you are...
