Mary

I was looking through the pages of our younger days

Thinking 'bout the laughter and our childhood ways

You’re a special part of growing up I hold onto

My only sister, I am so thankful for you

We walked through those early years, side by side

Through the shifting seasons and the turning tide

Oh Mary, you give your time and you give your love

Like a comfort sent down from the Lord above

You are always there for whoever needs you near

A steady hand to wipe away the tear

I look at your heart and I know that it's true

God is always with His children, and He proves it through you

It doesn't matter who is hurting or who calls your name

You treat the weary and the broken just the same

You never hesitate to offer up your heart

When somebody's spirit is falling apart

You pour out your kindness, you give of your time

Leaving all the selfishness of life behind

Oh Mary, you give your time and you give your love

Like a comfort sent down from the Lord above

You are always there for whoever needs you near

A steady hand to wipe away the tear

I look at your heart and I know that it's true

God is always with His children, and He proves it through you

When the road gets heavy and the sky turns gray

I remember what the faithful always say

He never leaves us walking in the dark alone

He sends a little grace to lead us home

You're the living proof of His heavenly care

An answered prayer when anyone needs someone there

Oh Mary, you give your time and you give your love

Like a comfort sent down from the Lord above

You are always there for whoever needs you near

A steady hand to wipe away the tear

I look at your heart and I know that it's true

God is always with His children, and He proves it through you

Yes, God is always with His children, this I know

Because I have you, Mary, wherever I go
