A SONG FOR MAMA

Snippet

“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” ― Abraham Lincoln

Scripture

Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 2 Timothy 1:4-6

You taught me everything

And everything you've given me

I always keep it inside

You're the driving force in my life, yeah

There isn't anything

Or anyone I can be

And it just wouldn't feel right

If I didn't have you by my side

You were there for me to love and care for me

When skies were grey

Whenever I was down

You were always there to comfort me

And no one else can be what you have been to me

You'll always be you always will be the girl

In my life for all times

[Chorus:]

Mama, mama you know I love you

Oh you know I love you

Mama, mama you're the queen of my heart

Your love is like

Tears from the stars

Mama, I just want you to know

Lovin' you is like food to my soul

You're always down for me

Have always been around for me even when I was bad

You showed me right from my wrong

Yes you did

And you took up for me

When everyone was downin' me

You always did understand

You gave me strength to go on

There were so many times

Looking back when I was so afraid

And then you come to me

And say to me I can face anything

And no one else can do

What you have done for me

You'll always be

You will always be the girl in my life, ooh oh

[Chorus:]

Mama, mama, you know I love you

Mama, mama you're the queen of my heart

Your love is like tears from the stars

Mama I just want you to know your love is like food to my soul

Never gonna go a day with out you

Fills me up just thinking about you

I'll never go a day with out my mama

Sentence Prayer

Father;  Help us learn from our earthly mother, the love you have for us. 

Help, us to see that for a birth there is always blood, sweat and tears.

Help, us whether male or female to grow more nurturing.  Amen!
