We met in the sanctuary, side by side
Singing the hymns with our hearts open wide
From that Sunday morning to where we are now
You’ve shown me what fellowship is all about
Debra, you walk with a spirit of grace
Bringing a comforting light to this place
ChorusThank you, my friend, for the love that you show
For the kindness and patience wherever you go
When my spirit is heavy and I need a lift up
You're always right there with a prayer and a hug
Yes, you're always right there with a prayer and a hug
Verse 2When the struggles of life get a hold of me
And my mind is as restless as a stormy sea
You always make time, you pull up a chair
You offer a shoulder and a listening ear
You never rush me, you just let me speak
Giving me strength on the days I feel weak
ChorusThank you, my friend, for the love that you show
For the kindness and patience wherever you go
When my spirit is heavy and I need a lift up
You're always right there with a prayer and a hug
Yes, you're always right there with a prayer and a hug
BridgeIt takes a rare soul to be patient and kind
To leave all the rush of the world far behind
I count it a blessing, a gift from above
To know a dear friend who is anchored in love
Final ChorusSo thank you, my friend, for the love that you show
For the kindness and patience wherever you go
When my spirit is heavy and I need a lift up
You're always right there with a prayer and a hug
Oh, Debra, you're there with a prayer and a hug
Thank the Lord for your time, for your prayer, and your hug
