How do you spell Wonderful Human Being, it's spelled A-G-N-E-S.
My mom really was as wonderful as I claim, she was the greatest.
Everybody loved my mom because she cared.
When she got money, she donated to the homeless and The Oral Roberts Ministry, she shared.
When she died, the bond between us was severed.
But she's merely sleeping, she won't be gone forever.
When people are resurrected by Jesus, she will be the first person who I greet.
When you make her acquaintance, she'll be a person who you'll be happy to meet.
[Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]

I was 10 years old when she prayed with me,
that's when she gave herself to Jesus you see.
I remember her kneeling right next to my bed
after she prayed she would kiss my forehead.
Mom was like an angel always by my side,
we would sing and laugh as the days went by.
She loved the Lord with all of her heart and soul,
I had no doubt in mind where she would go.
Mother watched evangelists over the years,
she learned about Jesus it brought her to tears.
She watched Oral Roberts, Robert Schuller and Billy Graham.
I'm sure there were others that touched her heart,
God knew what he was doing what an excellent start.
Then all of a sudden I started to cry,
I remembered how I felt the day she died.
Four days of labor, four days of tears
it caught me off guard when I heard what
appeared....
The same morning I gave birth to my child,
someone had called to say, "Your mother has died".
I didn't want to remember, I didn't want to think,
my heart was torn open, I couldn‘t breath.
The pain that I felt on that very day,
I didn't believe would ever go away.
I had so many questions along with my tears,
so many things inside me for years.
