Verse 1
Happy
birthday,
my
sister
Anthonia,
Today
the
world
celebrates
you,
Anthonia.
When
I
came
into
this
family
as
a
wife,
You
did
not
see
a
stranger,
you
saw
a
sister.
You
opened
your
arms
and
welcomed
me
with
love.
Pre-Chorus
And
my
children...
Oh,
how
you
love
my
children,
As
if
they
came
from
you.
That
love,
Anthonia,
I
will
never
forget.
Chorus
Happy
birthday
to
you,
my
sister
Anthonia,
My
beautiful
sister,
a
gift
from
God
above.
Thank
you
for
your
kind
and
golden
heart,
Thank
you
for
your
care,
thank
you
for
your
love.
May
this
new
year
bring
you
endless
joy.
Verse 2
You
are
good
to
me
in
ways
I
cannot
count,
In
your
presence,
there
is
always
peace.
You
speak
with
kindness,
you
act
with
grace,
You
are
the
definition
of
a
true
sister.
Chorus
Happy
birthday
to
you,
dear
Anthonia,
May
the
Lord
bless
you
and
keep
you
safe.
May
He
grant
all
the
desires
of
your
heart,
May
He
crown
your
efforts
with
success.
You
deserve
the
best
of
everything.
Bridge
So
today
I
pray
for
you,
my
sister,
I
pray
for
long
life
and
good
health.
I
pray
that
favour
will
follow
you
everywhere.
Everywhere
you
go,
may
doors
open
for
you.
You
will
not
weep,
you
will
not
fail,
Final
Chorus
Anthonia,
my
sister,
we
love
you,
We
love
you
more
than
words
can
say.
You
are
precious,
you
are
priceless,
You
are
loved
beyond
measure.

birthday,
