La Nita

Just two years apart, my little sister and me

I've watched you become who you were meant to be

An incredible mother, a loving aunty too

With a generous heart in everything you do

La Nita, you pour out your soul for the ones you love

Reflecting the grace of the Father above

And the scripture says, in His time

He makes all things beautiful, by His design

So hang on in there, let your spirit shout

God is going to work it out

Yes, hang on in there, through the shadow and the doubt

God is going to work it out

For thirty-four years, I've been locked away

But you stayed in my corner, day after day

You always have my back, through the darkest of nights

A strong Christian woman holding onto the light

When the walls felt heavy and the road was so long

Your steadfast devotion kept me holding on

And the scripture says, in His time

He makes all things beautiful, by His design

So hang on in there, let your spirit shout

God is going to work it out

Yes, hang on in there, through the shadow and the doubt

God is going to work it out

You give so much to the family, you carry the weight

Now let me remind you of the power of faith

The Lord sees your goodness, He honors your tears

He’s been walking beside us for all of these years

La Nita, keep trusting the promise He made

And the foundation of love that you’ve carefully laid

Because the scripture says, in His time

He makes all things beautiful, by His design

So hang on in there, let your spirit shout

God is going to work it out

Oh, hang on in there, He knows what He's about

God is going to work it out

He makes all things beautiful, La Nita, there's no doubt

God is going to work it out
