What Mama Did

What Mama Did

by Randy Doyle Hazlett

Words to this song. MAPPED FOR GENERAL MIDI with QuickTime v3.0. You're hearing only the first 2 verses + chorus + finale. :

1. How many hours, and how many rhymes
   Did my mama invest in the child in her arms?
   Tell me, how many dishes.
   And clean sets of clothes?
   Tell me, how many kisses?
   Only God knows...
   


2. What my mama gave up to be there for me.
   Through the headaches, and heartaches, and fond memories.
   She was always beside me, day after day.
   Tell me, how could my mama love me that way?
   
   CHORUS:
   That's what Mama did
   To make life worthwhile.
   That's what Mama did
   For only a smile.
   Mama, you are my treasure, a pearl of great price.
   I will honor and love and obey.
   Please, God, bless my mama today.
   


3. Life finds us older and aging with grace.
   A disposable culture sees lines on our face.
   Don't you worry, Dear Mama, I'll be by your side.
   Don't you worry, Dear Mama, for you were my guide.
   
   REPEAT CHORUS:
   


4. When my Jesus surveyed the crowd at His cross
   He saw Mary, His mother, counting her loss.
   He said, "John, see your mother. Mother, your son."
   Then He gave up His spirit. His work was all done.
   
   BRIDGE:
   If the Lord loved His mother, should we do less
   Then to honor and love and obey?
   So cherish your mother today.
   

REPEAT CHORUS:

FINALE:
God, bless my mama today.
God, bless my mama today.
God, bless my mama. My mama.
Bless my mama.
That's my mama.
