Momma

Daddy kept the wheels turning out on the road

While you held the house together, carrying the load

Raising three little girls right under your wing

A stay-at-home mom who gave us everything

There were warm meals waiting on the table every night

And clean clothes folded up, everything just right

Oh, Momma, you’re a Proverbs mother through and through

Protective and loving in everything you do

With your Bible wide open in the early morning light

And reading those pages at the closing of the night

You led us to the pews when the Sunday morning came

A hard-working woman, we are proud to speak your name

I can still hear the laughter echoing down the hall

When the chores were finally finished and the evening shadows fall

We'd gather round you, Momma, resting heavy sleepy heads

Playing Jack in the bush with those marbles on your bed

You made a simple game feel like a millionaire's prize

With that gentle, steady wisdom shining in your eyes

Oh, Momma, you’re a Proverbs mother through and through

Protective and loving in everything you do

With your Bible wide open in the early morning light

And reading those pages at the closing of the night

You led us to the pews when the Sunday morning came

A hard-working woman, we are proud to speak your name

You built a wall of prayer around the ones you love the most

While Daddy made a living driving out from coast to coast

You kept us safe from harm, you taught us wrong from right

Guided by the scriptures in the morning and the night

Now the three of us are older, but we never will forget

The standard of a mother that you beautifully set

For the washing and the cooking, for the sacrifices made

For the foundation of faith that will never ever fade

Oh, Momma, you’re a Proverbs mother through and through

Protective and loving in everything you do

With your Bible wide open in the early morning light

And reading those pages at the closing of the night

You led us to the pews when the Sunday morning came

A hard-working woman, we are proud to speak your name

Yes, a Proverbs mother, we are proud to speak your name
