Paula Grindstaff - Sweet Companion Jim Lyrics

Her face was lined
With many years of living
Her eyes were soft and gentle
As she tried to hide the pain
Today she has to leave behind a life
Of love and sharing
For she just laid to rest her lifelong friend
Her sweet companion Jim

Yet through the tears her broken heart
Will learn to smile again
Because their home was filled with love
And Jesus was their friend
She told me she could almost
See them walking hand in hand
In a garden of red roses
Jesus and her sweet companion Jim

She offered me some wisdom
Well worth sharing
She said my child it doesn't matter
How much wealth you gain
If you never take the time to find out
Why you're living
You never really know the earthy joy
Our heavenly father planned

Yes through the tears a broken heart
Will learn to smile again
Because their home was filled with love
And Jesus is their friend
And someday she will join them
And they'll all walk hand in hand
In a garden of red roses
Jesus and her sweet companion Jim

And someday she will join them
And they'll all walk hand in hand
In a garden of red roses
Jesus and her sweet companion Jim
