What I'm singing for Mother's Day

[Dana Grant]

Below are the lyrics to the song that I am singing for Mother's day. I also have a powerpoint made up so that if people want to sing to their own moms while I'm singing, they can.....and I'm asking people to sit together as families as much as possible..........(IF anyone wants to use the powerpoint, I'll gladly email it to you....it has really special pictures of mothers and children on it...)

Here goes:

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful, Mom
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me
Through it all
You're the one who s
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am --
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am --
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am --
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am --
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am........
........because you loved me!


SO far I haven't been able to get through it without crying, because the last picture in the powerpoint is a picture of my mom & myself......gets me every time!! But I will!!! A thousand more times through it and I'll be able to do it Sunday!!! LOL

Sorry about that!

I can see why you will have trouble singing this. Is your mom going to be there? Are you taping it to send to her?

How wonderful, Dana.

No, she won't be there. But I will be taping it so she can hear me sing it, and we are sending her a CD of the powerpoint.

So she'll cry, too, I'm sure. HA HA

Thanks, Barb.
