Mama Was A Lot Like Jesus

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
