OUR SISTER
Up, Up, high from his throne above the Lord looked down on our sister with love we saw her dimly as through a mirror but the Lord saw her much more clearer tears, the sound of thunder the Lord he shed as sister Charlie Mae struggled on her death bed. He said child I know you-hurt and your pain, it was for this very reason that I came So tell this world and all therein, so long Come my child lets journey home.
