Monica and Sheldon Williams

When the world turned its back and my family walked away

I was lost in the shadows, couldn't find the light of day

Caught in the chains of addiction, fighting for my life

Then we met down in Bartlett, and you pulled me from the night

Apostle-Elect Sheldon, Prophetess Monica too

I was just a broken stranger, but I found a home with you

You carry the Holy Ghost, you carry the fire

Lifting my spirit up higher and higher

You didn't just speak it, you showed me the truth

What love really feels like, I learned it from you

To my spiritual parents, sent from above

You took in a stranger and saved her with love

You opened your doors when I had nowhere to go

Tended my wounds and you helped my soul grow

You gave me a chance when I needed it most

With laughter, and joy, and the power of the Ghost

Through my darkest chapter, you stood by my side

Y'all are the real ones, with arms open wide

You carry the Holy Ghost, you carry the fire

Lifting my spirit up higher and higher

You didn't just speak it, you showed me the truth

What love really feels like, I learned it from you

To my spiritual parents, sent from above

You took in a stranger and saved her with love

Love is a sacrifice, patience, and grace

You offered compassion and held out a safe space

Because of your faith, I am standing here clean

Becoming the woman He called me to be

I'm healing, I'm growing, my spirit is free

Thank God for the pastors who didn't give up on me

You carry the Holy Ghost, you carry the fire

Lifting my spirit up higher and higher

You didn't just speak it, you showed me the truth

What love really feels like, I learned it from you

To Sheldon and Monica, sent from above

You gained a daughter forever, and saved her with love
