|
I've seen her give her last dollars to a stranger on the street
|
And do without a dress she wantedso we would have enough to eat
|
When the ladies at the garden club looked down their noses at her
|
I watched her turn the other cheek without a bitter word
|
|
Chorus
|
Mama was alot like Jesus
|
The way she lived and loved
|
A blessed sent from heaven up above
|
She would pray for our forgiveness
|
And sacrifice for us
|
Mama was alot like Jesus
|
|
She could stretch a bag of groceries for two weeks to keep us fed
|
She could take an old potted plant and raise it from the dead
|
Her words were like a healing touch when we had a broken heart
|
And when I wrestled with the devil, shel led me through the dark
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
I've got my Daddy's eyes, I've got my Daddy's hair
|
But, I hope my mama's heart is inside me somewhere
|
|
('Cause) Mama was alot like Jesus
|
The way she lived and loved
|
A blessed sent from heaven up above
|
She would pray for our forgiveness
|
And sacrifice for us
|
Mama was alot like Jesus
|
My mama was alot like Jesus
|
