Mama’s hands used to hold me

Mama’s hands set me free

They taught me to be strong

Showed me right and wrong

They filled every day

In a very loving way

They filled every journey

With unconditional love only

They provided direction

Along with plenty of affection

They showed me purpose

Rises to the surface

Mama’s hands pointed to a word

That deserves to be heard

They offered discipline

Show me I could win

They removed fear

Showed me God is near

They showed me what’s real

Things I shouldn’t conceal

And they showed a treasure

Beyond all measure

Mama’s hands carried me through

Showed what God can do

They filled my soul

They made me whole

They turned me around

Put me on solid ground

They revealed what’s in stone

Why I’m never alone

They gave me a home

Where my soul could roam

They gave me something to hold

Promised my story would be told

They talked about every chapter

Containing joy and laughter

They shared lessons learned

All the stripes earned

They lifted me up

They filled my cup

They revealed my name

Helped remove my shame

They made me smile

Even laugh a little while

I saw where love stands

Through Mama’s hands
