Diane

We were driving up and down Route One-Ten

I couldn't make up my mind back then

You said I'd have to learn to choose for myself

Flashing that best smile you share with everyone else

I don't remember what we finally had to eat

But the laughter in that car was oh so sweet

My big sister made it clear I was loved

A beautiful gift from the Father above

Ephesians one, sixteen is my song

I'll thank God for my sister my whole life long

You love Jesus with all of your heart

And you wanted to share that beautiful spark

Through your patience, your guidance, and grace

You showed me the glory of His face

I do not cease to give thanks for you

Remembering you in my prayers, it's true

Then came the day that you and JB wed

I was your flower girl, just like you said

I felt so beautiful walking down that aisle

But I'll never forget how you paused for a while

You spoke to me serious about my faith

And gave me an Amy Grant cassette tape

I played it over and over, memorized every song

That was the start of my journey, where I belong

Ephesians one, sixteen is my song

I'll thank God for my sister my whole life long

You love Jesus with all of your heart

And you wanted to share that beautiful spark

Through your patience, your guidance, and grace

You showed me the glory of His face

I do not cease to give thanks for you

Remembering you in my prayers, it's true

My heart wells up knowing all you've been through

And how God has made a faithful path for you

You pulled me out of situations, never gave up

Always looking on the bright side, filling my cup

Family is everything, you hold us so near

Your unceasing prayers conquered my fear

With your guidance and prayer, I was saved too

I see the love of the Savior in you

From the fast food choices to the seeds that you sowed

The path God has made for you beautifully showed

Diane, is saying "thank you" even enough?

For a lifetime of sharing His heavenly love

Ephesians one, sixteen is my song

I'll thank God for my sister my whole life long

You love Jesus with all of your heart

And you wanted to share that beautiful spark

Through your patience, your guidance, and grace

You showed me the glory of His face

I do not cease to give thanks for you

Remembering you in my prayers, it's true
