Ellie Holcomb's song "Mine" is a tender lullaby that expresses a parent's unconditional love for a child, but it also carries a deeper spiritual meaning. The lyrics describe a parent remembering the moment they first held their child and reassuring them of constant love and presence. This mirrors God's love for His children, as the song suggests that before we were even born, God knew us and loved us. The repeated refrain "You always have, you always will be mine" echoes the biblical truth of God's faithful, unchanging love. The song offers comfort and security, reminding listeners that they are held and cherished.

I remember the first time
You wrapped your tiny hand in mine
How could I forget
I held you there upon my chest
Heart to heart, and breath to breath
How could I forget
Before I held you, I knew I loved you
Before I saw you, I was sold out for you
I was writing lullabies
Before I ever heard your cry
I've been here the whole time
You always have, you always will be mine
Step by not-so-steady step
Holding up your arms again
How could I forget
It wasn't when you got it right
I was cheering all the time
I will be 'til the end
Before I held you, I knew I loved you
Before I saw you, I was sold out for you
I was writing lullabies
Before I ever heard your cry
I've been here the whole time
You always have, you always will be mine
You're mine
I'm not too busy
I'm not in a hurry
Slow down, just breathe
And lean right into me
Before I held you, I knew I loved you
Before I saw you, I was sold out for you
I was writing lullabies
Before I ever heard your cry
I've been here the whole time
You always have, you always will be mine
And through the nights when you're afraid
I will be your safest place
I will lift your head
And I won't let you forget
