Momma

Every day at midday, I'd walk right through your door

For a two-hour lunch break, I couldn't ask for more

We'd talk about your childhood and watch us kids grow up

Sharing all those old sayings over a coffee cup

You had a kind and patient soul, a quiet, gentle way

And all the wisdom that you shared is ringing true today

Oh, Momma, you were a Granny to all

With a pure heart ready to answer the call

You taught us to love and put the Lord above all else

To read the Word, be kind, and be honest with ourselves

I loved you with every inch of my heart and soul

And I'm trusting in the promise that will make me whole

I can't wait for the day when the waiting ends

To see your face and hug your neck again

You always kept your Bible open in the light

Teaching us to put God first and treat our neighbors right

You'd do anything for anyone, family or not

Loving everybody with everything you've got

I miss that little kiss you'd leave upon my cheek

And the comfort of your presence every time you'd speak

Oh, Momma, you were a Granny to all

With a pure heart ready to answer the call

You taught us to love and put the Lord above all else

To read the Word, be kind, and be honest with ourselves

I loved you with every inch of my heart and soul

And I'm trusting in the promise that will make me whole

I can't wait for the day when the waiting ends

To see your face and hug your neck again

I miss hearing you say just how much you love me

I miss telling you the same, as plain as it could be

You were the best Momma, truly one of a kind

You left a trail of peace and a holy light behind

Now I carry your memory in everything I do

Walking in the quiet faith that I learned from you

Oh, Momma, you were a Granny to all

With a pure heart ready to answer the call

You taught us to love and put the Lord above all else

To read the Word, be kind, and be honest with ourselves

I loved you with every inch of my heart and soul

And I know you're resting where the healing waters roll

I can't wait for the day when the waiting ends

To see your face and hug your neck again
