MEMORIES OF MOTHER
Author(s): Steven, Gideon S., Byron
Songbook: Dad's Songs of Love
KeyWords: Parenting,

Verse 1
My Mother's hand is on my brow,
Her gentle voice is pleading now;
A cross the years so marred by sin,
What memories of love steal in.

Verse 2
Once more I see that look of pain,
She gently draws me with those eyes again;
My heart is sad, for well I know,
My sin has caused her bitter woe.

Chorus
Oh, Mother, when I think of thee,
'Tis but a step to Calvary;
Thy gentle hand upon my brow
Is leading me to Jesus now.

Verse 3
The memories of bygone years,
My Mother's love, my Mother's tears,
The thought of all her constant care
Doth bring the answer to her prayer.

Verse 4
I'm coming home, by sin beset,
For Jesus loves me even yet;
My Mother's love brings home to me
His greater love of Calvary.

[Repeat Chorus]
