Mama Taught Me What To Do

When I was just a little girl 
Sitting on my mama's knee 
She told me special stories 
That taught me to believe 
She read the bible to me
The blessed word of God 
She led me to the pathway 
Down which I would trod. 

She taught me that the bible 
Was a dear and precious book 
She told me how he suffered 
Of the special life they took 
She said Jesus died for me 
So my life could be saved 
That he bought me my salvation 
With the life that he gave. 

Chorus. 
mama's love was best, 
She was better than the rest.
I found her words were true, 
Mama taught me what to do.
Mama's love was undying 
Like God's love for His Son
If the Lord had earthly Angels,
My mother had to be one.

God was in all she would say 
and in everything she'd do 
Now Mama's home with Jesus 
And someday I'll be there too. 

Chorus. 
My mothers love was best, 
She was better than the rest
I found her words were true, 
Mama taught me what to do.
Mama's love was undying 
Like God's love for His Son
If the Lord had earthly Angels,
My mother had to be one.
