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.
