Sitting with hurting hearts all around me,
Wondering why it had to be that way.
Family torn,
Tears flowing,
Saying I hate to feel this way.
I don't want to.

Oh Lord, help me.

Then, as I was talking to my sister
That I love so dearly,
She and God listened to the cry of my heart.
I cried and cried.
And then I knew I had to do something.

The only thing that was left to do
Was to go to the enemy's camp
And get back what he had stolen from me.

Oh Lord Jesus I love You!!

As I went to take it all back,
My beloved sister prayed and prayed.
I could feel the love of a real sister,
A sister that I have never had,
Someone that would lay their life down for me.

Someone that has stayed up night after night
To  share the love of Christ.
Someone that I can look at
and know that this has all come from God
Because God loves us unconditionally.

And this is the love she shares with me.
A love that will never die.
I look up at her
and I think she is the most precious gift
God could ever give me.

I have been given a place in my heart
That was so empty all my life.
But now I have a real sister,
A person I cherish and love.
And I will love her forever and ever.

I want to take this time right now and say,
 If you have never had a sister before
Ask God to give you one.
They are the most precious gift God could ever give you.
I will thank my God forever and ever for her.

I love you Sissy
