I'm a young mother, I have four children of my own
Sometimes I lay awake wondering where they're at
Sometimes I wonder where their next meal is coming from
Have you ever got a telephone call
And somebody sayin' Mr. Sam's store was broken into
And you wonder if they was a part of that
That's a mother's love, that's a mother's love
A mother's love, a mother's love
A mother's love, a mother's love
Have you ever sent 'em to school
And you wondered if the gang members will beat 'em there
That's a mothers love, that's a mothers love
A mothers love, A mothers love
Have you ever looked out the window
And you've wondered where their father is at
That's a mother's love
A mother's love, a mother's love
A mother's love, a mother's love
Have you ever decided to buy you a dress
And turned around and they needed something else
That's a mothers love
A mother's love, a mother's love
And it's so wonderful, it's so wonderful
It's so wonderful, it's so wonderful
After goin' through all those trials and tribulations with our children
All we got to do, is turn it over to Jesus
Turn it over to Jesus, turn it over to Jesus
All you got to do is
Turn it over to Jesus, turn it over to Jesus
That's a mother's love, a mother's love
That's a mother's love, a mother's love
Turn it over to Jesus, turn it over to Jesus
Turn it over to Jesus, turn it over to Jesus
