Jeff Bates Mama Was A Lot Like Jesus Lyrics

Mama Was A Lot Like Jesus Lyrics

I've seen her give her last five dollars

To a stranger on the street

An' do without a dress she wanted

So we'd have enough to eat



And when the ladies at the garden club

Looked down their nose at her

I watched her turn the other cheek

Without one bitter word



Mama was a lot like Jesus, the way she lived an' loved

A blessing sent from Heaven up above

She would pray for our forgiveness and sacrifice for us

Mama was a lot like Jesus



She could stretch a bag of groceries

For two weeks to keep us fed

An' she could take an old brown potted plant

An' raise it from the dead



An' her words were like a healin' touch

When we had a broken heart

And when I wrestled with the devil

She led me through the dark



'Cause mama was a lot like Jesus, the way she lived an' loved

A blessin' sent from Heaven up above

She would pray for our forgiveness and sacrifice for us

Mama was a lot like Jesus



I've got my daddy's eyes

I've got my daddy's hair

But I hope my mama's heart

Is inside me somewhere



'Cause Mama was a lot like Jesus, the way she lived an' loved

A blessin' sent from Heaven up above

She would pray for our forgiveness and sacrifice for us

Mama was a lot like Jesus, my mama was a lot like Jesus
