From the recording River Valley Dreaming
One week after winning two 2008 NSW Gold Medallions for Songwriter of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year, I found myself in Tweed Hospital with a burst appendix (at my age!!!). I was one very sick girl! In the middle of a really bad night I had my little transistor radio on, when a song by my daughter Jessie came on. Jessie is a gospel singer and musical director of her own church in Melbourne and had only just released her new single to radio ABC. What are the chances of that happening? Sent from up above, methinks, a powerful experience I will never forget.
Lyrics
My Baby’s Love - Jessie’s Song (clelia adams)
another sleepless night, downhearted and alone
a dark night of the soul, never been so low
to fi ll the endless hours, I turn on the radio
& fi nd a country station
playing something that I know
in the dark a voice rang true like a beacon of light
sent from up above, to help me through the night
with gentle love and grace, she fi lled my every need
somehow she knew my name and divinely intervened
imagine my surprise, tears welled in my eyes
familiar as my heartbeat, I realized, it was
my baby’s love came on the radio,
pouring hope into a weary soul
her love came home to me a million fold
when my baby’s song came on the radio
I soaked up every word, deep inside my mind
that even when dreams have died,
there’s always hope to find
if mountains crumble, new songs will always rise
the wisdom of the ages lifted me so high,
when my baby’s love came on the radio
pouring hope into a weary soul
her love came home to me a million fold
when my baby’s love came on the radio
