Irma

I thank the Lord for the gift of you

For the gentle spirit that He shines through

Irma, you listen when my faith is low

With a caring heart that helps me grow

You wait in the quiet when I need to heal

And show me that grace is something real

You are the voice that encourages my soul

A beautiful blessing that makes me whole

And as long as I walk in this life we share

Look beside you, Irma, I will always be there

Through the shadows and the morning light

I will stand by my sister and hold you tight

When the walls close in and I don't know how

I say, "I wish I had my ACME kit now"

Looking for a quick fix to fall from the sky

But you just smile and you dry my eye

You don't need a trick to help me see

You just pour out your patience over me

You are the voice that encourages my soul

A beautiful blessing that makes me whole

And as long as I walk in this life we share

Look beside you, Irma, I will always be there

Through the shadows and the morning light

I will stand by my sister and hold you tight

God bound our hearts before we were born

To be a safe shelter through every storm

Whenever you stumble, whenever you pray

I'll be the one who won't walk away

You are my family, my lifelong friend

I will protect you right to the end

You are the voice that encourages my soul

A beautiful blessing that makes me whole

And as long as I walk in this life we share

Look beside you, Irma, I will always be there

Through the shadows and the morning light

I will stand by my sister and hold you tight

Whenever you need me, whatever you face

I will be there in this circle of grace
