Hallelujah for a Mother's Love

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sunday morning, light comes pouring in I lift my hands and let the praises ring For every prayer that carried me through For every blessing, Lord, I'm thanking You There's a woman who showed me the way On her knees both night and day [Chorus] Hallelujah for a mother's love A gift sent down from heaven above Through the valleys, through the highest day She walked beside me every step of the way Joy, joy, joy in my soul For the love that made me whole [Verse 2] You stood beside me when the road was steep Made a promise that you swore to keep When the money was thin and the nights were long You hummed a hymn and you stayed so strong Patrice, you taught me how to stand With a Bible and a working hand [Chorus] Hallelujah for a mother's love A gift sent down from heaven above Through the valleys, through the highest day She walked beside me every step of the way Joy, joy, joy in my soul For the love that made me whole [Bridge] Every man I am, every dream I hold Came from the seeds that your hands sowed Thank you, Mama, oh thank you, Mama [Verse 3] Patrice, you raised me into who I am A grateful son, a standing man You did your best when the best was hard And you never let me lose my guard So today I lift this song to you For the truth and grace you taught me to [Chorus] Hallelujah for a mother's love A gift sent down from heaven above Through the valleys, through the highest day She walked beside me every step of the way Joy, joy, joy in my soul For the love that made me whole [Outro] Patrice, sweet Mama, hear me say I celebrate you on this day Thank you, Mama, thank you, Mama
