Latasha

Lord, I thank You for the sister that You made

For the quiet, gentle patience she displays

With a funny word to lift the heavy clouds away

She brings Your sunshine to the darkest of our days

I watch her with her children and her grandbaby too

Pouring out a spirit that is pure and true

I praise the Lord for you, Latasha

And there is nothing you can do about it

He gave me a sister, a rock when I was surrounded

By the grief and the pain, you were His hands and feet

I love you, Latasha, my blessing so sweet

When I lost my husband and my world fell apart

A heavy, blinding sorrow took a hold of my heart

But you were right there with me to the very end

A vessel of the comfort that the Father sends

You never left my side, and you're standing by me still

Helping me to breathe again and trust His holy will

I praise the Lord for you, Latasha

And there is nothing you can do about it

He gave me a sister, a rock when I was surrounded

By the grief and the pain, you were His hands and feet

I love you, Latasha, my blessing so sweet

You are kind, you are strong, you're a beacon to us all

Encouraging this family whenever we fall

Always speaking courage to the ones you hold dear

I thank God for the grace that keeps you right here

I praise the Lord for you, Latasha

And there is nothing you can do about it

He gave me a sister, a rock when I was surrounded

By the grief and the pain, you were His hands and feet

I love you, Latasha, my blessing so sweet

Forever and always, a gift from above

From Auntie Penny, with all of my love
