Jossie

I think about the days when I was small

Taking steps beside you, learning to walk tall

Those everyday walks as I was growing up

Are the memories of joy that overflow my cup

Oh, Jossie, you held my little hand

Guided my feet and helped me to stand

Oh, I love you, Mother, with all my soul

Your boundless love has made me whole

When the world gets heavy and the skies are gray

The light of your smile chases the clouds away

Yes, I love you, Jossie, my heart sings true

I thank the Lord for a mother like you

Sometimes I needed a word of truth

To guide me through the fire of my youth

You gave me strong talks, firm but so kind

Leaving the doubt and the worry behind

You spoke with conviction, you spoke with grace

With that beautiful smile upon your face

Oh, I love you, Mother, with all my soul

Your boundless love has made me whole

When the world gets heavy and the skies are gray

The light of your smile chases the clouds away

Yes, I love you, Jossie, my heart sings true

I thank the Lord for a mother like you

Every word you spoke was a seed you sowed

Every walk we took was a righteous road

Your love is the rock where my spirit stands

I am so blessed by the work of your hands

Oh, your strong talks lifted me higher

And your sweet smile is my guiding fire

Oh, I love you, Mother, with all my soul

Your boundless love has made me whole

When the world gets heavy and the skies are gray

The light of your smile chases the clouds away

Yes, I love you, Jossie, my heart sings true

I thank the Lord for a mother like you

I love you, Mother, yes I do
