the love of your mom then facing the loss of the greatest friend you'll ever have
Story behind the song
this is for my mom when i thought that she would surly die but somehow shes still hanging on
Lyrics
GOD CALLED MOMMA HOME TONIGHT
AS I WATCHED THE TIRED LOOK ON HER FACE
I COULD JUST HEAR HER SANGING AMAZING GRACE
OH HOW I WANTED TO FEEL HER EMBRACE
AND TAKE AWAY HER PAIN
BUT I KNEW GOD HAD TAKEN OVER THAT WAS PLAIN
OH HOW I WANTED TO FEEL HER SOFT EMBRACE
LIKE BACK IN MY CHILDHOOD DAYS
THEN I SAW A SMILE OF PEACE COME ON HER FACE
THEN I KNEW SHE WAS HEADED TO A BETTER PLACE
CHOURS
GOD CALLED MOMMA HOME TONIGHT
LORD IT HAD BEEN SUCH A LONG FIGHT
AS I WATCHED HER FALL INTO A PEACEFUL SLEEP
I WAS REMEMBERING HOW SHE ALWAYS PUT ME FIRST IN HER LIFE
EVEN IN THE HARD TIMES WHEN SHE HAD STRUGGLE & STRIFE
YES GOD CALLED MOMMA HOME TONIGHT
I WATCHED HER FADE INTO THAT BRIGHT LIGHT
EVEN THOUGH I WANT HER HERE WITH ME
I KNOW NOW SHE’S BEEN SET FREE
YES WE HAD OUR HARD TIMES
BUT THERE WASN’T A DOUGHT IN MY MIND
THAT SHE DIED LOVING ME
AS I LOOKED INTO HER EYES I COULD SEE
NEVER THOUGH SHE’D BE LEAVING ME SO SOON
BUT SHE WAS JUST TO TIRED TO FIGHT
NOW IT JUST AN EMPTY OLD BED ROOM
CAUSE GOD CALLED MOMMA HOME TONIGHT
