Charles

We walked into that membership class

Didn't know what we would find

Not siblings by blood, but we're family now

Two believers of a similar mind

You're protective and smart, with a caring heart

A strong presence when the days get rough

You reached right down to the dark where I was

And showed me that His grace is enough

You pulled me out of the place I was in

And helped me walk in the light again

Studying the Word, watching my faith grow

Charles, I just wanted you to know

You looked at me and shared the truth you give:

"Let your heart hold fast my words, keep my commandments, and live."

We can laugh until we're out of breath

Like that trip to the pharmacy lane

You rolled down the window and confidently

Gave them the wrong birthday and name

But when the music plays and the Spirit moves

I see your passionate worship shine

We're standing side by side in the pews

A siblinghood by divine design

You pulled me out of the place I was in

And helped me walk in the light again

Studying the Word, watching my faith grow

Charles, I just wanted you to know

You looked at me and shared the truth you give:

"Let your heart hold fast my words, keep my commandments, and live."

I see you growing closer to the Lord every day

A faithful friend who helps me find my way

I appreciate the heavy lifting you do

I am so much stronger just walking with you

Yeah, you pulled me out of the place I was in

And helped me walk in the light again

Studying the Word, watching my faith grow

Charles, I just wanted you to know

I'll take the wisdom and the truth you give

I'll let my heart hold fast His words, keep His commandments, and live.
