Mama Was Alot Like Jesus Lyrics

MAMA WAS ALOT LIKE JESUS



Written by: Tob Ctosby/Kelly Shiver/Ray Stephenson (BMI/ASCAP)



I've seen her give her last dollars to a stranger on the street

And do without a dress she wantedso we would have enough to eat

When the ladies at the garden club looked down their noses at her

I watched her turn the other cheek without a bitter word



Chorus

Mama was alot like Jesus

The way she lived and loved

A blessed sent from heaven up above

She would pray for our forgiveness

And sacrifice for us

Mama was alot like Jesus



She could stretch a bag of groceries for two weeks to keep us fed

She could take an old potted plant and raise it from the dead

 Her words were like a healing touch when we had a broken heart

And when I wrestled with the devil, shel led me through the dark



Repeat Chorus



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 alot like Jesus

The way she lived and loved

A blessed sent from heaven up above

She would pray for our forgiveness

And sacrifice for us

Mama was alot like Jesus

My mama was alot like Jesus
