Thank You Mama

 

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

Thank you Mama for teaching me

To call on the Lord to go down on my knees

 

If I should die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take

Thank you Mama for doing what’s right

A firm foundation within a prayer life

 

(Chorus)

God bless the mother leads her child to Christ

To guide them out of darkness to his marvelous light

Thank you Lord for the love that’s been kind

Thank you Lord for a mother like mine

 

God bless the mother teach her child to pray

To the source on high who lights up the way

Thank you Lord for she’s surely been kind

Thank you Lord for a mother like mine

 

Verse

 

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

Thank you mama for he’s kept my soul

As a little child as I grow old

 

If I should die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take

Thank you mama for that very first prayer

Speaks highly of your love and how much you cared

 

Chorus

 

Don’t forbid the little children to come to him he said

And we’d go to Jesus as we bowed our heads

I honor every mother who expresses her love

Who takes her child to Jesus Christ the Lord above

 

God bless the mother teach her child to pray

To the Lord on high who surely lights up our way

I honor every mother who could be so kind

To take her child to Christ the Lord acknowledging her time
