Mothers on Their Knees

Mothers come in all sizes and shapes

skinny ones and fat ones, if you please

some moms give while other moms take

but the best are mothers on their knees

When these moms see their children, little or big

turning their backs on God and in the devil's camp

listening to the devil's tune and dancing to his jig

they hit their knees and light the old prayer lamp

If you have a mom that kneels and prays

you are more blessed than you can know

she'll call your name to Jesus all her days

she'll plead your case though her own tears flow

But, child of God, if your mother is still unaware

of the blessed Savior's mercy and grace

she may be weighted with many a burden and care

its up to you to hit your knees and plead her case

God allowed a special bond between mother and child

a bond that is deep, and one that's hard to break

remember her loving hands, remember her smile!

forgive and forget the mistakes that she may make

Oh, how often has the story been told, now

of a lost and wayward daughter or son

and a mother on her knees who didn't allow

the problem a rest until Christ's victory was won

Mother's day is only once a year, 'tis true

but everyday God hears all the mother's pleas

for all their children, for me and for you,

God bless all of the mothers on their knees!
