When God set the world in place
when He hung the stars up in space
when He made the land and the sea
then He made you and me

He sat back and saw all that was good
He saw things to be as they should
Just one more blessing He had in store
He created a mother, but whatever for?
He knew a mother would have a special place
to shine His reflection on her child's face

A mother will walk the extra mile
just to see her children smile

She'll work her fingers to the bone
to make a house into a home

A mother is there to teach and guide
a mother will stay right by your side

She'll be there through your pain and strife
she'll stay constant in your life

A mother will lend a helping hand
until you have the strength to stand

She'll pick you up when you are down
when you need a friend she'll stick around

A mother is one who listens well
will keep her word; will never tell

A mother never pokes or pries
but stands quietly by your side
giving you the strength you need
encouraging you to succeed

A mother is one who can be strong
when you need someone to lean on

You're more than a mother to me
a reflection of Him in your face I see
a love that knows no boundaries

I'm glad that you chose to be
all this and more to me

You share a love that knows no end
you're more than my mother
you are my friend

no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.

A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.

God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.

When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.

Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.
