because of you, Mom

So many nights I lie awake and listen as you would talk to God and call my name
You'd hold your Bible like a priceless treasure and every promise you would claim
I knew that you were praying for my future, those distant years I had you couldn't see
But through the eyes of faith you had assurance that God will blessed the plans He had for me

Because you prayed, I found my faith in Jesus
Because you loved, I learn to love Him too
I don't know where my life would be
If you had never shown to me
What God has done, What God can do
Now my life's forever changed
Because of you

I'm grateful for the life you lived before me, a life's so firmly fashioned by God's grace
For you would always leave a touch of Jesus in every heart, on every face

God has blessings for beyond all measure, unlimited and boundless from above
But of them all by far his greatest treasure is the grace and beauty of a Mother's love

Now my life's forever changed because of you.

In preparation to the coming Mothers’ Day celebration next Sunday, we are given this wonderful song to familiarize and render on the day set for the program to appreciate the mothers. The lyrics and the entire context of the song run deeply in my heart. It did remind me of the gratitude I owe God for giving me the most loving and supportive Mom in the world!
