A tribute to mothers everywhere. Thank you for making this song go to #1 on Mothers Day.
Although I lost my mother to cancer in May of 1984, just after Mother's Day, I've learned to deal with the loss by doing something special for Mother's Day each year. In 2004 I recorded this song written back in 1998.
Note the first letter in the first word of each line in the first verse and what they spell.
More than a lady, she's a wonderful friend
Others forsake you; she is true to the end
Telling me stories, tucks me into my bed
Helping to heal me from the bump on my head
Ev'ry thing she does in her special way
Reminds me it's time to say
Happy Mother's Day!
All through my school days she was there by my side
There giving praises, there to trust and confide
There to console me when I felt all alone
There when I thought that I was out on my own
When you think there's no one to pull you through
A heavyweight champ, she'll fight for you
Happy Mother's Day!
She once said,
"When the storm of your life blows and the devil, he is holding you down
Don't give up, don't you worry
Just call on the Great I Am
Pray on and remember that our Savior
He is able to do anything that you ask Him
Just call --like I told you to."
Now that I'm older, still the mem'ries are sweet
Often I've told her how she just can't be beat
Though I have a family, raising kids of my own
The things that she told me I would never have known
Ev'ry thing and the way it's supposed to be
She taught me, now it comes naturally
Happy Mother's Day!
When the storm of your life blows and that devil
he keeps holding you down
Don't give up, don't you worry
Just call on the Name of the Lord
Pray on and remember that our Savior
He is able to do anything that you ask Him
Just call --like she told you to
More than a lady, she's a wonderful friend
Others forsake you; she is true to the end
Telling me stories, tucks me into my bed
Helping to heal me from the bump on my head
Ev'ry thing she does in her special way
Reminds me it's time to say
Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day!
