The blessed truth,
I learned in my youth,
Sustains me yet today!

For I was taught,
I must be blood-bought,
And walk the Straight and Narrow Way!

My precious mother,
More than any other,
Was a positive influence on me.

In a world of sin and strife,
Her Godly life,
Was plain for all to see!

She was always there,
With intercessory prayer,
When she knew I was in need!

When my faith grew weak,
The Holy Ghost would speak,
With a message I must heed!

Many years have gone by,
But I still rely,
On the prayers she prays for me!

Her desire still today,
Is that in every way,
I’ll be the man God wants me to be!
