Sandra

I still remember standing by the stove

Wrapped in your patience and your quiet love

You showed me how to stir the morning grits

And how to build a family out of it

Oh Sandra, you are beautiful and sweet

You guided every step beneath my feet

You taught me how to be a Christian woman

How to be a mother and a wife

You gave me all your loving, sweet support

And poured your understanding in my life

I look at everything you've done for me

And thank the Lord for who you helped me be

You never rushed, you always took the time

To show me how the light of faith can shine

Through all the different things we used to make

You showed the Christian way in steps you'd take

Your gentle spirit is the thing I see

When I look back on all you gave to me

You taught me how to be a Christian woman

How to be a mother and a wife

You gave me all your loving, sweet support

And poured your understanding in my life

I look at everything you've done for me

And thank the Lord for who you helped me be

I want to say thank you for the grace you wear

For every single moment of your tender care

You are the one who held me as I grew

I am the woman that I am because of you

You taught me how to be a Christian woman

How to be a mother and a wife

You gave me all your loving, sweet support

And poured your understanding in my life

Mom, I just want to say a thank you now

For the Christian way you always showed me how
