I remember the moment our journey began
When jealousy threatened the goodness you had
They were ready to break you, to pull you apart
But I stepped in the way to protect your sweet heart
I stood as your shield when the anger was loud
And pulled my new friend from the edge of the crowd
ChorusOh Jen, you're the blessing I didn't expect
A beautiful soul I will always protect
You're caring and giving, you understand me
The truest best friend that a person could be
I love you so much, and I want you to know
I'm walking beside you wherever you go
Verse 2It is easy to see why they envied your light
You shine like a beacon, so tender and bright
You give of yourself with an open embrace
And handle my struggles with patience and grace
Whenever I'm heavy, you carry the weight
You listen and love, and you never forsake
ChorusOh Jen, you're the blessing I didn't expect
A beautiful soul I will always protect
You're caring and giving, you understand me
The truest best friend that a person could be
I love you so much, and I want you to know
I'm walking beside you wherever you go
BridgeFrom the day that I stopped them from bringing you down
To the deepest connection that we've ever found
We built a foundation on mercy and truth
I thank the good Lord for the gift that is you
I stood up for you then, and I'd do it again
My sister, my anchor, my very best friend
Final ChorusOh Jen, you're the blessing I didn't expect
A beautiful soul I will always protect
You're caring and giving, you understand me
The truest best friend that a person could be
I love you so much, and I want you to know
I'm walking beside you wherever you go
Yes, I'm walking beside you wherever you go
