Betty

For thirty-three years, you have been my rock

Guiding my steps every day that I walk

Momma, you showed me what love's meant to be

With a spirit of grace that you poured into me

You carry a warmth that the whole world can feel

Making the promise of Heaven so real

Oh Betty, I see Jesus when I look at you

Shining so bright through those eyes of clear blue

You live by the Word that brings peace to your soul

"Be still and know," let the Father control

With a heart made of love in all that you do

Momma, I see Jesus when I look at you

You don't need a pulpit to preach of His grace

You just let His mercy shine out of your face

You pray that the people you meet on your way

Will see the Lord's goodness in things that you say

And I am the witness, I stand here and tell

That you reflect Heaven, and you do it so well

Oh Betty, I see Jesus when I look at you

Shining so bright through those eyes of clear blue

You live by the Word that brings peace to your soul

"Be still and know," let the Father control

With a heart made of love in all that you do

Momma, I see Jesus when I look at you

Psalm forty-six and verse ten is your guide

When the river is rough and the valley is wide

You taught me to stop, to be still and just pray

To trust that the Maker is making a way

Thank you for thirty-three years of your light

For keeping the faith and for fighting the fight

Oh Betty, I see Jesus when I look at you

Shining so bright through those eyes of clear blue

You live by the Word that brings peace to your soul

"Be still and know," let the Father control

With a heart made of love in all that you do

Momma, I see Jesus when I look at you

Yes, Momma, I see Jesus when I look at you
