Just a little wooden cabin with "Welcome" on the door
Two chairs and a table a bed and not much more
Bare boards were the covering she had on the floor
One could not help but think that she was very, very poor
And yet she was so happy with a roof over her head
Even if upon her table was just a piece of bread
She was very thankful for the gift of each new day
And used her moments helping other folks in her own way
It wasn't all that long ago that Jenny passed away
Her friends and neighbours missed her love in so many ways
She was loved and well respected until her dying day
But was not often rewarded for the love she gave away
Just before she passed away she called me to her door
And said to me "I will not need my cabin anymore
I know there is a home in Heaven there for me
For Jesus promised us a place in Heaven to live eternally
Jenny's living in her mansion in Heaven beyond the blue
And yet we sense her presence and still we miss her too
I'm sure that she's an angel I know she earned her wings
And I'll bet she spends her moments working for our Heavenly King
