Sending Perfection
Worship Music and Spiritual Legacy
In the secret of a simple life lived with purpose and reverence for God, authentic expressions are born that reach heaven. “Sacred Arrows” is one of those expressions. More than a song, it is a portrait of love, responsibility, and spiritual inheritance. Written and produced by Emil (my husband), this song was born from his experience as a father, husband, and servant. It documents our family’s spiritual growth through the intentional raising of our son, Levi.
The Inspiration Behind the Song
“Sacred Arrows” was inspired by Psalm 127:4 — “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth.” The lyrics reflect the deep commitment to guide our children with love, patience, and purpose. Each verse is a silent prayer, a teaching that comes not from control but from example. Emil wrote the lyrics as a declaration of love and responsibility for Levi’s life, remembering that children are not possessions — they are a mission.
Key Verse
“Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth.” — Psalm 127:4
Lyrics and Reflections
A good man leaves gifts for his children to keep
His love runs deep, his wisdom will seep
A good man leaves gifts his children can treasure. His love runs deep, and his wisdom gently pours out.
Through time and space, a father’s embrace
Teaching with care, not anger or fear
Across time and space, a father’s embrace teaches with care — never with anger or fear.
These words on my heart
Guide me from the start
These words written on my heart have guided me from the beginning.
I’ll teach them each day
In every way
I will teach my son every day, in every way I can.
Chorus
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
Children are blessings from above
Like a father’s compassion
I’ll show them patient, guiding love
This heritage from heaven
Is the greatest gift I know
With gentle hands I’ll lead them
And watch them as they grow
Don’t make your children angry or sad
Be the kind of dad who makes them glad
Don’t stir your children to anger. Be the kind of father who brings them joy.
Teach God’s word at home and away
From morning light till the end of the day
Teach them God’s Word at home and everywhere, from sunrise to sunset.
These words on my heart
Guide me from the start
I’ll teach them each day
In every way
Chorus
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
Children are blessings from above
Like a father’s compassion
I’ll show them patient, guiding love
This heritage from heaven
Is the greatest gift I know
With gentle hands I’ll lead them
And watch them as they grow
These children are my heritage
A blessing from the Lord above
My son is my heritage — a blessing from the Lord above.
Sacred arrows for tomorrow
Prepared with patience and with love
Sacred arrows for the future generations — guided with patience and with love.
Let This Song Guide Your Legacy
“Sacred Arrows” is a reminder to every parent, educator, and caregiver to look at their “arrows” with love, strength, and reverence before God. May we recognize the responsibility we’ve been given and choose, daily, to guide our children in the way of truth and life. More than speaking it, may we live it with coherence.
This song is not just music — it’s a call to build a legacy that lasts. In a world full of noise, may your home be a place of direction, love, and purpose. Let Sacred Arrows inspire your heart to lead intentionally, to worship deeply, and to leave a spiritual heritage that echoes through generations.
Let the message resonate. Let the arrows fly with grace and mission.
This article is part of the Sending Perfection project — a living memorial of our family’s spiritual journey. Each song documents the invisible: the process, the prayers, and the encounters with God in the simplicity of daily life. May every song find its place in the heart of the listener.
