A heartfelt tribute from a grown son to the mother who chose him from the very beginning and never stopped showing up. This song carries the story of a faith-filled life: dancing on her feet as a boy, singing beside her in the choir, praying through the hardest seasons, and loving family with a grace that has outlasted every storm. It's a celebration of a mother's strength, a legacy passed down, and the gratitude of a child who knows he was one of God's greatest gifts to her, and she to him.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a story that begins so small, A baby tucked away, that's all. But Mommy saw a gift that day, And whispered, "I've got to take that one away." God gave a child, a brand-new name, A mother's love that stayed the same. [Chorus] Sandra, oh the queen of my heart, You've been there right from the start. Through faith and love, you carried me strong, Taught me giving is where I belong. From that drawer to every degree, You're one of God's greatest gifts to me. [Verse 2] Little feet on yours as we danced, Choir voices, one more chance. Road trips singing, you and Dad, Fifty years of love we had. A mother and son, this bond so true, A prayer warrior, seeing family through. [Chorus] Sandra, oh the queen of my heart, You've been there right from the start. Through faith and love, you carried me strong, Taught me giving is where I belong. From that drawer to every degree, You're one of God's greatest gifts to me. [Bridge] When the storm tried to steal your song, God gave it back, you sang out strong. You beat it twice, you held the line, Through the hardest year, you kept the faith alive. [Verse 3] At 74 you're just getting started, Swimming laps, so strong-hearted. Arthur Cummings carries Daddy's name, Our Artie keeps that legacy's flame. A mother's love that pulled us through, Our family stands because of you. [Chorus] Sandra, oh the queen of my heart, You've been there right from the start. Through faith and love, you carried me strong, Taught me giving is where I belong. From that drawer to every degree, You're one of God's greatest gifts to me. [Outro] I love you, always and forever, My Mommy, my rock, we'll always be together.
