Inspired by Audrey Smith, this song depicts the heartbeat of a little stuffed rabbit, whose bandaged heart helped her sisters understand the hope of Heaven.

lyrics

Angie Smith was expecting her fourth daughter, Audrey, when she eyed a particular stuffed bunny in the store. Later that night she could not get her mind off of it.

Days later Angie and her husband, Todd, went to their ultrasound appointment. Upon examination the doctor diagnosed Audrey with an enlarged heart and polycystic kidneys. She had no amniotic fluid and her lungs were not developing properly. When the doctor asked how she was doing, her stunned response was, "I think that my Jesus is the same as He was before I walked into this room."

On the way home from the hospital Todd insisted they stop to buy the bunny. At the store Angie spotted two little bunny ears sticking out of the toy barrel. She pulled them up and there it was, the perfect bunny with a black, permanent mark on its heart.

Angie wrote about Audrey, “I think of her red hair, the bunny we used to teach the kids what was wrong with her, and the day we buried her and they ripped the bandaids off the stuffed bunny because she was healed...Her life mattered and it made a difference...It sounds trite to say but she has brought more people to the Lord than I ever will. :) She was such a gift...”
