Mama

You held me up for the whole world to see

So proud of the tiny baby I used to be

Years later, we'd go shopping in the stores

Smiling 'cause my face looked exactly like yours

Sitting by the pool in the summer sun

Laughing that our mirror images were one

You're gentle and giving, faithful and true

I feel the love of Jesus shining through you

Always a phone call away in the night

Wrapping me in prayer, making everything right

Whenever I stumble, whenever I fall

Mama and Jesus are there through it all

I remember the blizzard, the winter wind blew

Stuck out of state, but I was tethered to you

Healing from surgery, feeling so low

You kept my spirits up, you wouldn't let go

With your honest advice and your patient grace

You brought the warmth back to that cold, lonely place

You're gentle and giving, faithful and true

I feel the love of Jesus shining through you

Always a phone call away in the night

Wrapping me in prayer, making everything right

Whenever I stumble, whenever I fall

Mama and Jesus are there through it all

God let your vision slowly fade into gray

But it wasn't a waste, I can see that today

'Cause now my own eyes are losing the light

And you helped me navigate into the night

I trip constantly on the stones in the road

But the Lord lifts me up and carries the load

You're gentle and giving, faithful and true

I feel the love of Jesus shining through you

Always a phone call away in the night

Wrapping me in prayer, making everything right

I walk by faith now, and not by my sight

Mama and Jesus will hold me tight
