I dedicated this song to my wife and it's a song about the relationship between her and her mother; who's now gone home to be with Jesus. (Mastered by Jam'z OR Audio Services)
Let's just call it a "Cyber Ministry"!!!!
Story behind the song
I wanted to write a song for my wife and I thought one about her relationship with her mother and best friend would be something really special to her. Their life was a struggle but they always had each other; and when her mother left this world, it was just the two of them together for a very special goodbye.
Lyrics
BEST FRIENDS
I heard the stories of their younger days
Of laughter and tears along the way
Life was a struggle but they had each other
Best friends for life, daughter and mother
There was no money for swings and slides
But if mama had a quarter, they’d go for a ride
They took the city bus for a trip downtown
What a time they had, just riding around
CHORUS
They were a pair, friends for life
Through good times and bad, joy and strife
Only one stronger love will we ever see
The one Jesus has for you and me
As the years disappeared into the past
The day had arrived much too fast
They stood together, hand in hand
It was her last ride, her last stand
They were alone when the time arrived
She was hanging on to the daughter by her side
She said “Mom its OK, take Jesus by the hand”
And He took her with Him to the Promised Land
