A Song for Sister

Sister by TroyCartwright

Today my brother posted a new song he'd recorded called "Sister."  After listening, I texted him and asked if it was about any sister in particular.  :-)  He said, "The only one I've got!"  This is seriously the best gift he could've given.

And I'm pretty sure this is pretty true to how he feels ("I don't have my head around it yet"), because when we called to tell him our good news, all he could say was, "Wow.  I can't believe it."

I love how he writes, because it's not how "normal" people think.  My favorite parts are in bold.

So here it is...

I don't have my head around it yet

But I'm doing the best that I can

So hold her up, when she feels like sinking

In all you white, I just can't believe it

Sister, I hope when you shiver

He gives you his coat and hes holding you close

through the pain and sickness

the health and the rich-es

And its all so beautiful

I just don't know what I'm so anxious for

Cause you used to hold my hand

and help me to understand

taught me bout Jesus

and how to believe it

So hold her up, when she feels like sinking

In all you white, I just can't believe it

Sister, I hope when you shiver

He gives you his coat and hes holding you close

through the pain and sickness

the health and the rich-es

Or how deep you're in it

your loves gonna fix it

The thorniest thicket

has spaces within it

and thats where the love is

thats where the love is

And if you ever get to thinkin'

its not enough, believe me it is

Trust your brother on this one

Sister, I hope when you shiver

He gives you his coat and hes holding you close

through the pain and sickness

the health and the rich-es
