MECHELLE

I was walking through a valley, I had nowhere left to go

The wind was blowing heavy, and my spirit was so low

But you opened up your front door, and you took me by the hand

Mechelle, you were the shelter when I couldn't hardly stand

You put food upon my plate, and you put clothes upon my back

You showed me what a mother is, and made up for what I lacked

You're a Proverbs 31 woman, worth so much more than gold

With a nurturing and humble heart that never will grow cold

You give without expecting a single earthly prize

I see the love of heaven shining right there in your eyes

Oh, Mechelle, you clothed me in grace

And made your home a holy place

Like the words of Psalm 23, you helped restore my soul

When I was broken into pieces, your caring made me whole

You led me to the still waters, you helped me find my rest

Through your understanding spirit, I know that I am blessed

You prepared a table for me when the world had turned away

And I thank the Lord above for you every single day

You're a Proverbs 31 woman, worth so much more than gold

With a nurturing and humble heart that never will grow cold

You give without expecting a single earthly prize

I see the love of heaven shining right there in your eyes

Oh, Mechelle, you clothed me in grace

And made your home a holy place

Such a quiet kind of humble, such a steady kind of care

Every time I needed comfort, I just looked and you were there

You never asked for nothing, you just poured your spirit out

You're the mother that I prayed for, I don't have a single doubt

You're a Proverbs 31 woman, worth so much more than gold

With a nurturing and humble heart that never will grow cold

You give without expecting a single earthly prize

I see the love of heaven shining right there in your eyes

Oh, Mechelle, my cup overflows

And I just want the whole wide world to know

You clothed me in grace

And made your home a holy place
