Janie, Heaven Smiled That Day

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some gifts are sent from heaven's door Wrapped up in grace and something more God saw the valleys I would know And sent a hand to help me go He gave a sister, more than blood My dearest friend, a gift of love [Chorus] Happy birthday, Janie, child of grace I see the Father in your face Your faith, your hope, your love so true Heaven smiles on the day He made you Lift your hands, let the praises ring For you, my sister, I will sing [Verse 2] When the storm came rolling through my days And my body tired along the way You never let go of my hand You prayed when I could barely stand Your love, your strength, your faithful prayer Reminded me that God was there [Chorus] Happy birthday, Janie, child of grace I see the Father in your face Your faith, your hope, your love so true Heaven smiles on the day He made you Lift your hands, let the praises ring For you, my sister, I will sing [Bridge] And if I ever held a wrong Forgiveness was your gentle song You taught me grace is how we live To love like Him, we must forgive [Verse 3] I treasure every sister trip With momma's laughter on our lips I'm proud of all that you've become Your work, your heart, the race you've run Devoted to the Lord, to kin, to friends A legacy of love that never ends [Chorus] Happy birthday, Janie, child of grace I see the Father in your face Your faith, your hope, your love so true Heaven smiles on the day He made you Lift your hands, let the praises ring For you, my sister, I will sing [Outro] Through every year, through every prayer My sister, I will meet you there Thank God for you, forever true Heaven smiles on the day He made you
