Sure do miss you, Mom.
Faith-filled and smiling.
She loved.
Someone once asked
If only you knew
How short life would be
What would you do?
What would they say
When God called you home?
What would they engrave
Once you were gone?
I hope they would see
What I've done in my life
Who I've cared for
And how I survived
I hope they'd say
She loved more than anything else
She loved with all of her heart
She loved everyone she believed in
She loved...oh she loved
She loved the Lord
And served all her life
A sacrificial mother
And an honorable wife
She gave all she had
And through every trial
Made life much sweeter
Because of her smile
Everyone will see
What she's done in her life
Who she cared for
And how she survived
I'm sure they'd say
She loved more than anything else
She loved with all of her heart
She loved everyone she believed in
She loved...
oh she loved
If only you knew
How short life would be
What would you do?
What would they say
When God called you home?
What would they engrave
Once you were gone?
I hope they would see
What I've done in my life
Who I've cared for
And how I survived
I hope they'd say
She loved more than anything else
She loved with all of her heart
She loved everyone she believed in
She loved...oh she loved
She loved the Lord
And served all her life
A sacrificial mother
And an honorable wife
She gave all she had
And through every trial
Made life much sweeter
Because of her smile
Everyone will see
What she's done in her life
Who she cared for
And how she survived
I'm sure they'd say
She loved more than anything else
She loved with all of her heart
She loved everyone she believed in
She loved...
oh she loved
