The Look She Gave

I thought Mother's Day would be just the right day to share this song. You have probably never heard it.  It is special to Bryce.  So special that we danced to it at his wedding last year.  It was written and preformed by Jeff Henry.  I wish you could hear it...makes me cry.  Jeff wrote it for his Mom.  Bryce asked his permission to use it at the wedding.  Then Bryce asked Jeff is he would preform it.  After some though, because he really doesn't do weddings, Jeff agreed.  I am so glad he did!

I remember as a child

Sunday morning I was kind of wild

Slipping underneath the pews

Till I crawled into, Mama's view

Don't you know I got up and set right down

Pretending not to notice as she looked around

From the piano where she played

You should have heard

The look she gave

Monday morning, time for school

Being lazy and acting a fool

I said "Mama I don't feel so good today"

Then I heard

The look she gave

Her eyes were full of anger

Her face full of love

So mad at my behavior

But her heart rose above

The frustration and the pain

My ignorance would bring

To her, To her

Saturday morning baseball game

You would have thought she'd gone insane

Screaming "Go, woah no, stay right there"

I shook my head pretending not to hear

Sunday evening 12 years old

The Holy Spirit filled my soul

It was the answer to a prayer she prayed

Man you should have felt

The look she gave

Her eyes were full of water

Her face full of joy

So thankful to the Father

So proud of her little boy

But Mama couldn't see

What she gave to me

She gave Heaven to me

Happy Mother's Day
