Christina

Christina, you carried a light in your soul

A beautiful kindness that made my heart whole

You always knew how to make me just smile

With your quick sense of humor and comforting style

I look to the heavens and perfectly see

The wonderful mother you've been to me

Mom, if you hear this song today

I love you no matter what, come what may

You are the best in the world, it’s true

And no one could ever replace you

I'm raising a hallelujah for all you gave

For a love so deep and a heart so brave

I think of the times that we slept in the wild

Out on a camping trip, mother and child

We set up the tent underneath the tall pine

And watched all the stars in the canopy shine

We laughed by the fire until it grew dim

Now I sing out this memory just like a hymn

Mom, if you hear this song today

I love you no matter what, come what may

You are the best in the world, it’s true

And no one could ever replace you

I'm raising a hallelujah for all you gave

For a love so deep and a heart so brave

Your laughter, your kindness, the grace that you pour

I couldn't have asked the Creator for more

No matter the distance, no matter the space

There is simply no one who can take your place

I carry your spirit wherever I go

I just want to worship and let the world know

Mom, if you hear this song today

I love you no matter what, come what may

You are the best in the world, it’s true

And no one could ever replace you

I'm raising a hallelujah for all you gave

For Christina, my mother, and the love that you save
