Denise

We were just eleven, maybe even younger then

Running through the days, I knew I'd found a lifelong friend

You always had a joke to tell, a spirit full of light

A patient, kind, and loving soul, walking in His sight

Through the seasons of our youth, we built a solid ground

The truest kind of sisterhood that I have ever found

Oh, Denise, you are a beacon, a God-fearing shining star

Reflecting all His glory, no matter where you are

Like Psalm ninety-one, verse one, I see it in your face

You dwell within the shelter of His everlasting grace

Resting in the shadow of the Almighty above

A beautiful testament to His unending love

There was a season you were lost, walking through a phase

But I was never leaving you inside that heavy maze

I stood right by your side until the skies began to clear

Because a bond like ours is stronger than the doubt or fear

You'd do the same for anyone, you'd be the first to stand

No matter what the situation, you offer a helping hand

Oh, Denise, you are a beacon, a God-fearing shining star

Reflecting all His glory, no matter where you are

Like Psalm ninety-one, verse one, I see it in your face

You dwell within the shelter of His everlasting grace

Resting in the shadow of the Almighty above

A beautiful testament to His unending love

Your laughter brings the healing, your patience brings the peace

The kindness in your spirit is a joy that won't decrease

Through the trials and the triumphs, you keep your eyes on Him

A faithful, loving woman whose light will never dim

Lord, bless my friend forever, keep her safe and keep her strong

Let the shelter of the Most High be her lifelong song

Oh, Denise, you are a beacon, a God-fearing shining star

Reflecting all His glory, no matter where you are

Like Psalm ninety-one, verse one, I see it in your face

You dwell within the shelter of His everlasting grace

Resting in the shadow of the Almighty above

My best friend forever, walking in His love
