Heaven Needed You More (Original Song)

*If you would like a copy of this song or an instrumental version please email me at [email protected] This song was sent straight from Heaven. I still can't believe all the miracles that took place in writing this song and putting this video together. Last year I received a message from a sweet girl named Dominique. She had just been through something that is probably one of the hardest things a mother could go through. At 30 weeks pregnant her baby Porter was stillborn. She asked if I could write a song in his memory for her and her family. For weeks I tried to write and nothing, then weeks turned into months, still nothing. Then one day I was sitting at my piano so frustrated trying to pull words and a melody from anywhere. I got up from my piano ready to give up once again, and I said to myself "There are no words that I could write that would ease her pain." And then the first line just came and the rest of the song was finished in a few minutes. I am so thankful for music, and that I was able to be a voice for Dominique and for Mothers everywhere who have experienced the loss of a child through miscarriage or still birth. We hope this song brings you comfort!

I've never felt a pain like this before a peice of my heart died with you. Chorus But I guess Heaven needed you more, but I can't understand exactly what for, is this a trial of my faith? a lesson to be learned? why did my baby come to earth then so quickly return? I gotta get up off the floor and trust that Heaven needed you more. I came home to an empty nursery, your cries and laughter won't fill this room, this was not the way I planned it. oh Lord I'm needing comfort from you. (repeat chorus) My arms are empty but you'll remain in my heart, and just remember Mommy loves you and we're not really far apart. Yes Heaven needed you more, and I'm starting to understand exactly what for, it's been a trial of my faith, so many lessons have been learned, yes my baby came to earth and then so quickly returned, but I'm up off the floor I know that Heaven needed you more.
