Mama’s hands held me close

She showed I mattered most

She offered the love

That comes from heaven above

She guided me every day

In her own special way

She made me see

What’s meant to be

She was the light

That shined day and night

She offered an encouraging word

That’s the best I’ve heard

She soothed me with her touch

Her touch meant so much

And she offered her affection

As well as protection

Mama’s hands taught me lessons

That became heartfelt confessions

Her voice went far

She helped me reach for a star

She turned me around

Put me on solid ground

She made me see my purpose

Lying at the surface

She showed me how to share

She showed me how to care

Her hands set me on the right path

Without suffering God’s wrath

She taught me to rejoice

Whenever I hear God’s voice

She offered something pure

She made me feel secure

She was one of a kind

She gave me peace of mind

She gave me strength

Whenever we talked at length

She set things in stone

She never left me alone

Mama’s hands

Showed where love stands
