Yonder I admire the baby dove
It reminds me of my sister's love
Oh yes sweet sister love
It fits like a warm fuzzy glove
What is this I speak of
This thing soft and gentle
This thing that can inspire anger
Without a trace of danger
Then turn around and give love
That feels like a hug from the Lord above
Oh it's sweet sister love
If this you've not had
Listen for a tad
Ever felt you were on a ship
In the middle of a raging storm
And the waves kept hitting harder and harder
Sister love is the hand that calmed the water
When you are down
And life seems like one big frown
You know those times when you feel
It's just you and the gracious Lord
Then you turn around and in her hands
Rest the most beautiful card
MMM that's sweet sister love
At times you put each other in a bind
Like when after the daily grind
Calling her on the phone
When she wishes to be alone
But in your selfishness you talk on and on
Until her sigh whispers please be gone
That too is sister love
For you know in a few
She'll get her due
And do the same right back to you
Sweet sister love
It's the loving and caring
Understanding and sharing
Laughing until you're crying
Embarrassment 'til you feel like dying
It's believing receiving and daring
And forgive me Lord sometimes swearing
Ooh yes it brings out the best
Sometimes Lord even the worst
And although sometimes it puts love to the test
I must lovingly confess
Without it I'd soon run out of clout
And myself began to doubt
Ooh yes that’s sweet sister love
It's my comfortable leather glove
It keeps me anchored to the ground
So I won't walk into the sea and drown
Ahh it's that Sweet Sister Love
