Jurnice

Looking back to when I was young

Those were the best days I've ever known

You spoke of faith with a gentle tongue

And planted seeds that have finally grown

My sweet mother, you showed me the way

I count my blessings for you every day

Oh, sweet Jurnice, my mother so dear

Your love casts out every shadow of fear

I lift my voice and I testify

Of the grace that falls from the Lord on high

God is good, His mercy is true

He showed His mercy when He gave me you

You taught my spirit to walk in the light

To pray in the morning and thank Him at night

Your sweet, sweet spirit is a beautiful thing

It makes my soul just wanna sing

When I look back on the memories we made

I see a foundation that never will fade

Oh, sweet Jurnice, my mother so dear

Your love casts out every shadow of fear

I lift my voice and I testify

Of the grace that falls from the Lord on high

God is good, His mercy is true

He showed His mercy when He gave me you

God is a good God, full of grace

I see His mercy when I look in your face

He poured His favor from heaven above

And wrapped it all up in my mother's love

Hallelujah for the mercy He brings

Under the shelter of His mighty wings

Oh, sweet Jurnice, my mother so dear

Your love casts out every shadow of fear

I lift my voice and I testify

Of the grace that falls from the Lord on high

God is good, His mercy is true

He showed His mercy when He gave me you

Oh, God's good mercy is shining through

Sweet mother Jurnice, I thank Him for you
