Lyrics

You may not know the way I’ve carried
The gift you gave, though you were wary
Of the questions, of the past, of the why
But Mama, I see God’s hand in your eyes
You gave me breath, and in that start
You gave me a chance to grow a heart
That breaks for others, lifts them high
All because you said yes to life

So thank you, Mama, for the dawn you gave me
For the road that’s rough, but the grace that saved me
You planted my feet on this earth to find
God’s purpose in this soul of mine
Through the wounds I’ve learned to heal
Through the storms I’ve learned to feel
And lead with hands that serve and bind
Thank you, Mama, while there’s still time

I know there might be shadows there
Things too heavy for you to share
But I don’t need the story told
I just need you to know you’re gold
In the book of Heaven’s mercy plan
You were chosen, I understand
Your “yes” became my beating heart
And I’ve carried that love from the very start

So thank you, Mama, for the dawn you gave me
For the road that’s rough, but the grace that saved me
You planted my feet on this earth to find
God’s purpose in this soul of mine
Through the wounds I’ve learned to heal
Through the storms I’ve learned to feel
And lead with hands that serve and bind
Thank you, Mama, while there’s still time

If there’s a weight you’ve tried to hide
Please lay it down, the debt hasn died
By the One who made us both to be
A part of His eternity
Your choice was love, pure and true
Every breath I take is proof of you
And I will live so Heaven knows
Your gift has bloomed, it still grows

Thank you, Mama, for the dawn you gave me
For the road that’s rough, but the grace that saved me
You planted my feet on this earth to find
God’s purpose in this soul of mine
Through the wounds I’ve learned to heal
Through the storms I’ve learned to feel
And lead with hands that serve and bind
Thank you, Mama, while there’s still time

So hear my heart in every line
I love you, Mama… while there’s still time
