Heaven's Glory

She was Heaven's Glory
that old mother of mine
she taught me about
Jesus and all that He
did.

Sure I went to church
for many a year,
but never called
on Him till later.

But old mother
Heaven's Glory
had planted
the seed.

So in August
of 1982
the old seed
grew and
I called on
Jesus and
He saved me.

Mother I do
thank you
for planting
that seed,
because you
are Heaven's
glory.

It's so wonderful to here another disciple of Christ give Him all the honor, glory and all the praise. And thank God for your mother, as she was the foundation that brought forth that seed. Keep writing for the glory that is God. love your sister in Christ, louise nelson
