My Mother's Faith - Live

My mother's arms would hold us tight
 She whispered, "Lord, keep them tonight"
 And so did we sleep sound and safe
 It must have been my mother's faith
 Morning would call the sun to rise
 And open sweetly slumbering eyes
 She prayed, "Lord, keep them on their way"
 He held us in by my mother's faith
 My mother's faith was wrapped about us
 Like the softest down of winter
 And when the raging winds had found us
 As in her arms we ever stayed
 At evenin' time dusk o'er the field
 Reluctant moon and stars revealed
 She thanked Him well as through the day
 As certain as my mother's faith
 My mother's faith could move a mountain
 And was deep as any ocean
 But to keep safe those gathered 'round her
 This was the greatest gift she gave
 ♪
 When summer turned and we had grown
 Her passing called us woeful home
 I kissed her then as there she lay
 And now I know my mother's faith
 And so does she sleep sound and safe
 It must have been my mother's faith
