Mama's Song Lyrics

Artist: Kirk Franklin
Album: Whatcha Lookin' 4

Verse 1
Summertime has come and gone
The leaves are slowly falling
The other day my mother heard
The voice of Jesus calling
He said come home with me my child
I'll take away your strife
Mama went to sleep on this side
And woke up in paradise

Chorus
Oh but how I miss her so
More than you'll ever know
How I miss her so
More than you'll ever know
How I miss her so
More than you'll ever know

Verse 2
When I was a little boy
Mama rocked me in her arms
She protected me from danger
And she kept me safe and warm
But mama is not here now
And I'm standing by myself
But as long as I've got Jesus
I don't need nobody else

Chorus
Oh but how I miss her so
More than you'll ever know
How I miss her so
More than you'll ever know
I miss her so
More than you'll ever know

I've had this CD for 6yrs and this is my first time listening to this song. All i could think about was my MOM dying,so here i am washing dishes crying and trying to figure out who can i get to play the piano when her heavenly father calls her home. like kirk says at the start of the song i'm no singer so pray for me.

This is for the people who's mom is still walking and talking i charge you to love her,(your mother)thank her,kiss her and tell her I LOVE YOU MOM.You only have one mother and when she's gone she's gone. For the ones who's mom is gone on to be her father she see's you so smile and say I LOVE YOU MOM !!!

Kirk did a great job with this song and anyone who is not touched by it should imagine life without thier mother and then try listening to the song after that.Remember there is nothing in the world like a mothers love
