Her Worth

There is nothing on earth like a mother. No one compares to her worth. None have done more for mankind, Than mothers, who loved us from birth. Who matches her steadfast devotion? When all others flee, who remains? Who picks up our lives and attends us? Who rocked all our worries away? No physician has healed more hurts Or given more comfort or care; Has tended to body and spirit, Than mother, whose touch was there. No judge has calmed more conflicts Or settled more cases on earth, Than mother who daily stood with us, Always defending our worth. No preacher has whispered more prayers Or poured out more tears to the Lord, Than mothers, before we were born: Began lifting us up evermore. No role that I know can eclipse this; Save Jesus my Lord who before her, Gave Himself, full surrender like mothers Oh the crowns upon these He’ll confer! Thank God for the worth of a mother, Unsung heroes who “make” our world. All of heaven knows what many miss: There is nothing on earth like a mother.
