Leissa

I look back at the memories, just the two of us back then

You were always right beside me, my tiny little friend

Holding onto Mamaw's hand, walking down the street

Everywhere I ever went, you were right there at my feet

My little sidekick, with a sparkle in your eye

I knew you'd be a blessing as the years went flying by

Oh, Leissa, you are beautiful, inside and out it's true

You're such a great big sister, and I'm so proud of you

You always keep me laughing with the funny things you say

And as you keep on growing, let your faith just lead the way

Remember in the storms of life, whenever you need power

Jesus is your shelter, Jesus is your strong tower

Watching how you lead the way, so graceful and so smart

You show them what a sister is, with your tender heart

You still have that same old smile that lights up any room

Chasing all the shadows out and clearing out the gloom

You're still Mamaw's little girl, no matter how you've grown

With a beautiful spirit that is entirely your own

Oh, Leissa, you are beautiful, inside and out it's true

You're such a great big sister, and I'm so proud of you

You always keep me laughing with the funny things you say

And as you keep on growing, let your faith just lead the way

Remember in the storms of life, whenever you need power

Jesus is your shelter, Jesus is your strong tower

You will always be Mamaw's girl, no matter where you roam

My love will be a steady wind to always guide you home

Keep your eyes upon the Lord, He'll hold you through the night

He will be your fortress, He will be your guiding light

Oh, Leissa, you are beautiful, inside and out it's true

You're such a great big sister, and I'm so proud of you

You always keep me laughing with the funny things you say

And as you keep on growing, let your faith just lead the way

Remember in the storms of life, whenever you need power

Jesus is your shelter, Jesus is your strong tower

You're Mamaw's little sidekick, and Jesus is your strong tower
