Thank You Lord

I can see the pain of hurt in mama's eyes
From lifes hard work that only she could realize
But she still raised us kids just the same
And never once did I hear her complain-

When daddy left mama had it rough
Waiting on tables trying to make enough
But for us kids she did her best
Tired on her feet from the lack of rest-

Thank you Lord, thank you Lord
For in my heart she'll always be
Thank you Lord, thank you Lord
For in my heart, something special to me-

Mama had faith in the worst of times
But with a smile on her face, she said we'll be fine
I would hear her in prayer late at night
Saying Lord help guide my children to do right-

Now Lord that you have called mama home
her precious memory still lingers on
And in my heart their could never be another
To take the place of my dear sweet mother-

Thank you Lord, thank you Lord
For in my heart she'll always be
Thank you Lord, thank you Lord
For in my heart, something special to me-
