Pillar of My Strength

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some hearts are built like steady stone They hold the roof when storms roll through Back when we were kids at home I'd lean on you, I always knew I told you then, I tell you still You're my pillar, and you always will [Chorus] Happy birthday, Dorcas, sister mine May peace come knocking at your door You've been a light through all our time And you deserve love, and so much more Keep that spirit burning bright You're one of a kind, you're my light [Verse 2] In a city loud and far away The life you built came falling down You faced the cold and empty days Alone among the crowded town But you picked yourself up off the floor And stood up taller than before [Chorus] Happy birthday, Dorcas, sister mine May peace come knocking at your door You've been a light through all our time And you deserve love, and so much more Keep that spirit burning bright You're one of a kind, you're my light [Bridge] Every scar became a song Every tear a seed of grace You showed us all how to be strong With healing written on your face [Verse 3] Mom and Dad still speak your name With pride that fills the kitchen air Your friends all feel your gentle flame A shelter waiting always there I thank God every single day That He sent you along my way [Chorus] Happy birthday, Dorcas, sister mine May peace come knocking at your door You've been a light through all our time And you deserve love, and so much more New beginnings shining bright You're one of a kind, you're my light [Outro] Sister, this year is yours to start I love you dearly, with all my heart
