Amy

I was walking through the valley of the shadow

When my husband went to be with the Lord

I brought my broken heart into the sanctuary

Looking for a peace I couldn't afford

That's when you sat beside me in the quiet

Amy, you reached out and held my hand

God knew exactly what my grieving spirit needed

He drew a map of healing I could understand

You are caring, you are honest, you are loyal

A trustworthy light when the shadows descend

I thank the Lord for the gift of your spirit

You're so much more than just a best friend

Through the prayers and the tears and the laughter

God knew the pieces of my heart He had to mend

When I count every blessing He has given

I see a sister He decided to send

Now we're two peas in a pod, walking together

Sharing every little secret that we know

We talk about everything under the heavens

Watching how the seeds of friendship grow

And it doesn't take much to amuse us

We can find the joy in a simple afternoon

A heavy season turned into a hallelujah

As the winter of my soul gave way to June

You are caring, you are honest, you are loyal

A trustworthy light when the shadows descend

I thank the Lord for the gift of your spirit

You're so much more than just a best friend

Through the prayers and the tears and the laughter

God knew the pieces of my heart He had to mend

When I count every blessing He has given

I see a sister He decided to send

When I lost my love, I thought I'd walk alone

But the Father had a different kind of plan

He gave me a confidant, a shoulder to lean on

A faithful heart to help me stand

Amy, you're the family that I prayed for

A bond of grace that time can never break

You are caring, you are honest, you are loyal

A trustworthy light when the shadows descend

I thank the Lord for the gift of your spirit

You're so much more than just a best friend

Through the prayers and the tears and the laughter

God knew the pieces of my heart He had to mend

When I count every blessing He has given

I see a sister He decided to send
