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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/mama-was-alot-like-jesus-lyrics-jeff-bates.html ] 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
