Thank You Lord for Johnnie

(The Lord gives me peace of mind to face another dawn)
-pause-

Another celebration because it's Easter morn
The day that Jesus rose again so we could be reborn
I thank You Lord for Johnnie who believed in You
And now he's up in heaven away beyond the blue

Johnnie left me lonely, and each day brings some grief
But I have faith in Jesus, He'll give me relief
I sometimes feel unhappy now that Johnnie's gone
But the Lord gives me peace of mind to face another dawn
Johnnie was a good man, and a loving husband, too
He loved all his children, I know this to be true
There were times of struggle, but we managed to survive
At times we were so thankful just to be alive

-pause-

Another celebration because it's Easter morn
The day that Jesus rose again so we could be reborn
I thank You Lord for Johnnie who believed in You
And now he's up in heaven away beyond the blue

Johnnie, you know I love you, and I always will
My 'knight in shining armor', my life you did fulfil
Many years of happiness was what you gave to me
And some day I will be with you for all eternity

Until that time I'll look to God, to help me thru the day
To make my life worth living, to lead me in His way
I thank You Lord for Johnnie, the man I truly love
And I'm sure he's looking down on me from heaven up above

-pause-

Another celebration because it's Easter morn
The day that Jesus rose again so we could be reborn
I thank You Lord for Johnnie who believed in You
And now he's up in heaven away.. beyond.. the blue..
