about

Inspired by Christopher Gillentine, who reminds us that sorrow lasts for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

lyrics

Ed and Liz Gillentine were thrilled when they found out they were expecting their second baby, a boy named Christopher. Their excitement turned to grief when he was diagnosed with a fatal genetic abnormality. Through the days and weeks of ultrasounds and tests they clung to the faintest hope that Christopher would survive, yet they planned for the inevitable.

When Christopher's tiny heart stopped beating they were overwhelmed with grief. The following months felt as though they were on a dark road--a road on which they were ill-equipped to travel. They wondered if they would ever smile again.

In the midst of all the heartache and questions, they found that God was their only hope. In His grace, God brought to them another couple who had walked a similar road some time earlier. When Ed and Liz saw this couple smiling, they began to see that by God’s grace they, too, would smile again.
