Jamie

Twenty-seven years ago, I can still recall

I held an empty notebook, feeling invisible and small

Nobody else would sign their name, nobody looked my way

But Jamie, you took the pen and changed my life that day

You wrote a simple message, a friendship meant to start

With a joke and a laugh from a kid at heart

We used to love the world, running wild and free

Now we love the Savior, and the grace He gave to me

Like the Book of Ruth, you're the sister of my soul

Where you go, I will go, through the broken and the whole

Your people are my people, and your God is mine too

Walking toward heaven, side by side with you

We’ve been on a hundred trips, down a thousand miles of road

Sharing every heavy burden, lightening the load

We still laugh until we cry at the silly things we do

But the greatest adventure is the faith I found with you

To see you fearing God, to see you shining bright

Stepping out of the shadows and walking in the light

We used to love the world, running wild and free

Now we love the Savior, and the grace He gave to me

Like the Book of Ruth, you're the sister of my soul

Where you go, I will go, through the broken and the whole

Your people are my people, and your God is mine too

Walking toward heaven, side by side with you

Of all the memories we've made beneath the open sky

Nothing compares to the promise by and by

From that very first signature to kneeling at the cross

Everything we left behind, we count it as no loss

'Cause we used to love the world, running wild and free

Now we love the Savior, and the grace He gave to me

Like the Book of Ruth, you're the sister of my soul

Where you go, I will go, through the broken and the whole

Your people are my people, and your God is mine too

Walking toward heaven, side by side with you

Yeah, our greatest adventure is heaven, side by side with you
