Tonia

I count my blessings when I bow my head

For every comforting word you've ever said

You’re patient and attentive, steady and true

I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have you

I think about the sleepovers over at your place

The quiet nights, the safety, and the grace

You've always been the one to catch my fall

My helpful sister, standing by me through it all

Oh, I thank the Lord every single day

For sending a sister like Tonia my way

You're loving, you're caring, you're beautifully kind

The most trustworthy soul I could ever find

I lift up my hands and I testify

I will love you, my sister, as the years go by

Lord knows we've had our share of the thrills

Running from bears in the Tennessee hills

We laughed till we cried, side by side in the wood

You always made sure that my spirit was good

And down by the water, when we'd cast out a line

You jerked the teeth out of those fish every time

You're gentle but strong, a protector and guide

I'm so blessed to be walking right by your side

Oh, I thank the Lord every single day

For sending a sister like Tonia my way

You're loving, you're caring, you're beautifully kind

The most trustworthy soul I could ever find

I lift up my hands and I testify

I will love you, my sister, as the years go by

Riding around town with the windows rolled down

Letting the cool breeze blow our troubles around

But we kept the heat running to keep out the cold

Just like the warmth of your heart, pure as gold

You support every dream, you help me stand tall

With you in my corner, I can weather it all

Oh, I thank the Lord every single day

For sending a sister like Tonia my way

You're loving, you're caring, you're beautifully kind

The most trustworthy soul I could ever find

I lift up my hands to the heavens above

Thanking God for my sister, and all of your love

Yes, I thank God for Tonia, every single day
