Lyrics
Verse 1
You’re the hug in the hallway, the prayer on the phone
The one who remembers when no one else knows
Setting the table, folding the chairs
You’re always there
You’re the steady, the faithful, the quiet and true
The church doesn’t run if it’s not for you
The world may not notice, but heaven does
And I see you, Sister Leslie, just because
Chorus
I see you, Sister Leslie, working in love
I see you, sweet ladies, lifting us up
You don’t take the stage, you don’t need the praise
But you’re the heartbeat of our days
I see you, Sister Leslie, heaven sees you too
And we’re stronger because of you
Verse 2
You pray for our children, you bring the hot meal
You carry the weight only heaven can feel
You’re first to forgive, first to believe
You teach us what kindness really means
You don’t chase the spotlight, you don’t wear a crown
But you build this church from the foundation down
The angels rejoice when you walk in the room
And I see you, Sister Leslie, we all do
Chorus
I see you, Sister Leslie, working in love
I see you, sweet ladies, lifting us up
You don’t take the stage, you don’t need the praise
But you’re the heartbeat of our days
I see you, Sister Leslie, heaven sees you too
And we’re stronger because of you
Bridge
You sow the seeds, you tend the ground
The quiet work that holds us sound
You are the living sermon preached
A prayer in action, within our reach
Final Chorus
I see you, Sister Leslie, working in love
I see you, sweet ladies, lifting us up
You don’t take the stage, you don’t need the praise
But you’re the heartbeat of our days
I see you, Sister Leslie, heaven sees you too
And we’re stronger because of you
Tag
Yeah, we’re stronger because of you
