Amen Lyrics

Call us a prayer

Say we are a psalm

Say our laughter is praise song

Our tears a holy water

Beloved and blessed Sis

Well and witnessed Love

Ours is the chorus of a hymn

Where one chord is

Thank you

And another is

Yes and amen

By blood or chosen bond

In the trenches and the peaks

From valley to rolling river

We journey through

And count it all joy

Count it all evidence of living

From my grateful mouth

I pull the ribbon of a poem

And bend a word into a bow

We are the gift

We are the endless offering

Our love is biblical

As any parable of courage

Of betrayal of grit or grace

And this is my testimony

That in the light of my sister's love

I see the truth of redemption and know

Why even the saviour of the world

Journeyed with friends

And still

It was a woman who waited

Who saw first and believed
