Sissy's Song
I like this song by Alan Jackson because it reminds me of a modern Psalm. There is pain, hurt, confusion, and hope. The verses change from hoping that she went to Jesus, wishing she went to Jesus, and finally being certain that she went to Jesus. So many of the Psalms are real like that. Your faith changes, ebbs and flows, if you will. But always there is the chorus getting you through the pain. In your heart of hearts you know Jesus is waiting for you.
Why did she have to go? So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
