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
