Irene

Looking back on all the years of growing up

Every holiday and trip, you filled my cup

From the long vacations to the quiet days

You were always there to guide me on my way

You put everybody else ahead of you

Irene, you are the strength, our family's glue

You taught me to trust the Lord with all my heart

To never lean on what I know, but let His wisdom start

In all my ways submitting to the Maker of my days

And watching Him make straight the paths we walk by grace

You live out the Word, you love us through and through

Thank God for a mother just like you

I still remember when my little boy arrived

The tears of pure devotion shining in your eyes

The greatest grandma, cooking meals to feed the soul

Crocheting heavy blankets just to keep us from the cold

With every single stitch, you love so fiercely hard

A beautiful reflection of the Father’s heart

You taught me to trust the Lord with all my heart

To never lean on what I know, but let His wisdom start

In all my ways submitting to the Maker of my days

And watching Him make straight the paths we walk by grace

You live out the Word, you love us through and through

Thank God for a mother just like you

You showed me how to live out Proverbs three

To fear the Lord and shun the dark, and let His spirit lead

Not to be wise in my own eyes, but seek Him in the night

You hold our family together in His holy light

You taught me to trust the Lord with all my heart

To never lean on what I know, but let His wisdom start

In all my ways submitting to the Maker of my days

And watching Him make straight the paths we walk by grace

You live out the Word, you love us through and through

Thank God for a mother just like you, Irene
