For God So Loves Sisters

She came back in my life when I was twenty
And from the start we loved each other plenty

I lost her when I was a little child
That's something we had never reconciled

Our mama died and all the kids were scattered
Finding them was all that really mattered

I grew up hard and so did she it seems
But I saw my sister always in my dreams

One day a stranger walked in from the cold
She looked familiar so I acted bold

Studied her face and then it dawned on me
This was my sister and then suddenly

She looked at me -it seemed she knew me too
And without pause into her arms I flew

God brought her back after the lonely years                               
We held each other through those joyful tears

I prayed so long and hard for this to be
Now I feel like the Lord has set me free

We never knew He watched us from above
That He would reunite us with His love
