Christian Dudley

We remember you this Easter Sunday.

Christian

On January 26th 2007 a little boy entered this world perfectly sound asleep. His name was Christian Dudley. He had his sister's nose, his Mama's cheeks and his Dad's shoulders. He never opened his eyes, he never made a sound and he never took a breath of air from this Earth. Instead he fell asleep in his Mama's womb and woke up in the arms of Angels.

Never did Carly and Sam imagine that their tiny son would make such a large and most beautiful impact on the world.

"To Write Their Names In The Sand" is Christian's Legacy. Sam and Carly thank God for giving them Christian's precious life, even if it was only for the shortest time.

Australia Day
26th January 2007

Looking out from underneath,
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me,
As before I went under.

And it's peaceful in the deep,
Cathedral where you cannot breathe,
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under.

And it's breaking over me,
A thousand miles onto the sea bed,
Found the place to rest my head.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me,
And all this devotion was rushing out of me,
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me,
The arms of the ocean deliver me.

Though the pressure's hard to take,
It's the only way I can escape,
It seems a heavy choice to make,
Now I am under.

And it's breaking over me,
A thousand miles down to the sea bed,
Found the place to rest my head.

And it's over,
And I'm going under,
But I'm not giving up,
I'm just giving in.

Oh, slipping underneath.
Oh, so cold, but so sweet.

In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold,
And all this devotion I never knew at all,
And the crashes are Heaven, for a sinner released,
And the arms of the ocean,
Deliver me.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

Deliver me.
