\"\" My Mother<\/b>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Multitudes gather in the banquet hall, waiting with jubilation, standing tall<\/h6>\n
A woman of valor, has been called; they\u2019re gathered for her celebration.<\/h6>\n
Table is set, King met, now her story to unfold\u2026<\/h6>\n
A baby girl was born in a lowly little town called Thomasville<\/h6>\n
Life would be a struggle, but today she\u2019ll wear a crown\u2026<\/h6>\n
Born into God\u2019s family her destiny would be\u2026living a life in honor of the King\u2026<\/h6>\n
Oh, she fought many battles, traveled far and wide, but her Jesus, she would never hide\u2026<\/h6>\n
Telling of his mighty love, wherever she would go\u2026<\/h6>\n
Souls were delivered from sins dark wake\u2026Holy Spirit led her in each step she\u2019d take\u2026<\/h6>\n
Eighty-three years make no mistake, she\u2019s a woman of God, she lived for His sake\u2026<\/h6>\n
Rejection, beaten, left alone at times\u2026the enemy is never kind\u2026<\/h6>\n
But Jesus called her and said, \u201cShe is mine\u2026\u201d<\/h6>\n
Today is a celebration, these past four years she\u2019s lived on heaven\u2019s shores\u2026<\/h6>\n
My choice today, is to celebrate her life, I can still her say, \u201cI love you more!\u201d<\/h6>\n
So, when you live your daily lives, remember to celebrate, when a child of God dies\u2026<\/h6>\n
Because there will be a celebration on the other side\u2026<\/h6>\n
Angles singing, brothers and sisters dancing, arms for you will be open wide\u2026<\/h6>\n
Yes, tears will be shed, but child of God, you won\u2019t be dead\u2026<\/h6>\n
You\u2019ll be invited to your own celebration!<\/h6>\n
I choose to celebrate her life not her death.<\/h6>\n
