(M2Mom)Mother, My Sav, Don’t Cry!

PRONUNCIATION NOTE: The word “sav” is a nickname for the best Mother anyone could ever have. LYRICS: [Verse 1] Mother, I know you’re crying, I know you’re missing me, I know you’re sitting there thinking Of everything we used to be. I know I gave you worries, I know I tested you, But even now I call your name, You come running to me like you always do. I wasn’t always easy, I had fire in my ways, But even now you won’t let me forget I was loved on my worst of days. [Pre-Chorus] “Mother, you’re still my sav,” As when I was still with you in the flesh, You Mother always came to my rescue, Just like you did when Jesus came and brought me home to rest. You’d tell me, “Son, behave yourself, ”Trying to help me find my way, And I’d laugh and say, “Mother, that’s some goofy ass shit,” Then go live life my way. [Chorus] But I hear you crying Mother I hear you crying now. Know, Every word you prayed for me Has followed me somehow. You were my sav, My shelter in the storm, The one who kept on loving me When I was bruised and worn. Don’t think I left you, I’m not that far. I fell asleep one night, And woke up in Jesus’ arms. [Verse 2] Tell my boys I love them, Tell them I tried my best, I worked until my body hurt, I hardly took a rest. I wanted them to have more, I wanted them to stand, To know their dad had fought for them With everything I had. I conquered things for my two sons, To show them how to live too, A home, a name, a future for themselves, Thank you Mother, I learned that from you. [Pre-Chorus] You always came through for me, Even when I made it hard, You saw past all my trouble Straight into my heart. And if I could call you one more time, You know just what I’d say, “Mother, you’re still my sav, Still working hard to save the day.” [Chorus] But I hear you crying Mother, I hear you crying even now, Just Know, Every word you prayed for me Has followed me somehow. You were my sav, My shelter in the storm, The one who kept on loving me When I was bruised and worn. Don’t think I’ll ever leave you Mother I’m not that far away. I fell asleep one night, After to Jesus I had prayed. [Bridge] Don’t let them tell my story Like trouble was all I was, Tell them I was laughter, I was life, I was love. Tell them I was hardheaded, Tell them I was strong, Tell them I lived full speed, Even when the road was long. Tell them I loved my boys, Tell them I gave my all, Tell them I kept on standing Because my Mother never left me to crawl. And when you miss my voice, Mother,Listen with your heart, I’m still saying, “I love you,” Even from where the angels are. [Final Chorus] Mother, you were my sav, My blessing and my guide, The one God gave to cover me Through every stormy ride. I know you wanted more time, I know this broke your heart, But I’m whole now, Mother, Safe in Jesus’ arms. So smile when you remember me, Even through your tears, Your black sheep made it home, Amongst the angels, I am me here. [Outro] Mother, you’re my sav, That’s what I’ll always say. I love you forever, And I’ll be with you again one day. Mother, you’re my sav, Like grandpa you were saved with promises too. Even now you have rescued me, God has brought me home through you.
