From the time that I could talk, I remember your sweet face,And it seemed to me that you were always there,Like the God I've never seen, you were watching over me,And you helped me know I didn't have to fear,Chorus: So I rise up and I will bless you, And I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Because of you, I know that there's a God above, And I know that He must be Love!From the day I started school, and you held my little hand,And you taught me all the wonders of this place,Like the God Whose voice I seek, you were praying over me,And you opened up the windows of His grace!(chorus) bridge: And just today, when I awoke, I thought of you, I said a prayer that He would touch your heart, Because I realized, how He used you in my life! For truly, mom, you are a gift from God!
