Heaven Sent Me Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Another candle on the cake tonight Soft music playing, low and slow Some years were heavy, some were bright But I'm still here to watch it glow I wasn't the smartest in the room But Lord, I made it happen, made it through [Chorus] Still standing, still breathing Still rising like the morning sun Heaven sent me back for a reason Jocelyn, your story's not done Happy birthday, sweet survivor Amen, a brand new life's begun [Verse 2] When love at home was hard to find My sisters held me close and kind They showed me how to walk, how to stand Guided me gently by the hand Now they're gone and Mama's gone too I miss them more than words could ever do [Chorus] Still standing, still breathing Still rising like the morning sun Heaven sent me back for a reason Jocelyn, your story's not done Happy birthday, sweet survivor Amen, a brand new life's begun [Bridge] Seven times that storm came looking for me Twice I slipped away But God and my sister sent me back Said baby, you can't stay [Verse 3] I work so hard to keep a roof Over the heads of the ones I love I pray my daughters see the truth And wrap me in the love I'm dreaming of My sisters watch from up above Surrounding me with peace and love [Chorus] Still standing, still breathing Still rising like the morning sun Heaven sent me back for a reason Jocelyn, your story's not done Happy birthday, sweet survivor Amen, a brand new life's begun [Outro] Still standing, still healing, still whole Amen, I'm still here Amen, I made it happen Still standing, still here
