Jesus Lessons

JESUS LESSONS When I was little I would cry out to my mama ‘Bout skinned up knees things unfair Up on her lap I’d find my comfort, Learned my first Jesus lessons there. She would tell me Remember that your Father loves you, He walks beside you every day. Turn your face to His glory When everything’s not going your way. The enemy is out to get you, The enemy, he wants your soul Listen Baby, to your mama’s warning Don’t forget who’s in control. Jesus is in control. A little older, I still cried out to my mama ‘Bout fights with friends who done me wrong She’d hold me tight, listen to my drama And remind me that only with Him am I strong. All grown up, still crying to my mama ‘Bout broken hearts and bygone dreams, She’d listen kindly, with eyes full of love Gently reminding me that only Jesus redeems.
