On the day I was born,you became my brother.
And there were no others born to our father and mother.
I remember the good times we had,
and the trips we'd take,
How I'd ride on your shoulders
down the hill to the lake.
As we grew older,
sometimes our lives were far apart,
yet you always had a special place
deep inside my heart.
I found God early,
but not because of anything I could boast.
It was His grace that came to me
just when I needed it most.
And even though we were still close
and you were always there,
I could feel a void and there were some things
that we just could not share.

Then one day my prayers were answered,
and you came to know Him too.
I know the angels in heaven rejoiced that day
But not even they could know the joy I felt for you.
For now not only on this earthwould you be here with me,
but we'd also be together in heaven for all eternity.
What a little sister feels for her big bubba
is a special feeling that no one can measure.
There is no other relationship such affection can afford.
Yet there is still one thing even more I treasure,
You are now my brother in the Lord!
