Mother's Words

Intro: acoustic guitar

Verse

The little child sat crying

upon his mother's knee,

seeking shelter in her arms

from his agony.

Pre-Chorus

"Do not cry, my little one,"

his mother hushabied,

"Give your troubles unto Him

Who was crucified."

Chorus

With a cloth, she dried the eyes

that once produced the rain.

With her faith in Jesus Christ,

she comforted his pain.

Verse

A woman sat in the dark

wrinkled by the years,

trembling in the shadows

her face was wet with tears.

Pre-Chorus

"Mother, wipe your tears away,"

the man said, tenderly,

"Give your troubles unto Him

who died for you and me."

Chorus

With a cloth, he dried the eyes

that once produced the rain.

With the faith she'd sowed in him,

he comforted her pain.

Bridge

Seasons turn and heartaches mend

Still we kneel and pray

Passing down the love we learned

To help us on our way

Chorus

With open hands, we dry the eyes

that still remember pain

With a faith we hold inside

we carry on the flame

Outro

Fadeout

So when sorrow finds your door

and hope feels far away

Lean on gentle words of grace

Let mercy light your way
