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
