Knowing Jesus, because of You

Verse 1

You held the world on tired shoulders,
With prayers whispered late at night,
Single mama, strong believer,
Teaching me to walk in light.

You didn’t always have the answers,
But you always knew His Name,
When life felt heavy or uncertain,
You showed me how to pray.

Pre-Chorus

You taught me faith is more than words,
It’s how you live, it’s what you do,
You didn’t just tell me about Jesus…
Mama, you lived Him too.

⸻

Chorus

You showed me Jesus in the hard days,
You showed me Jesus through it all,
When everything around us was shaking,
You stood strong — you didn’t fall.

You taught me all that matters
Is serving Him with your whole heart,
You said, “Baby, trust the Savior,
And He’ll work the rest out.”

You showed me Jesus…
Now I’m who I am because you did.

⸻

Verse 2

You showed me how to be a mother,
With patience, grace, and truth,
Now I’m raising up my children
With the faith I learned from you.

If I’m half the mom you were for me,
I’ll be the best mom anyone could be,
Because everything I pour into them
Started with what you poured in me.

I watched you choose grace over bitterness,
Prayer instead of fear,
You made a home out of broken pieces,
And turned pain into praise right here.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Now I carry what you planted,
Every seed you ever sowed,
Your faith lives on inside my heart,
In every step I go.

⸻

Chorus

You showed me Jesus in the hard days,
You showed me Jesus through it all,
When everything around us was shaking,
You stood strong — you didn’t fall.

You taught me all that matters
Is serving Him with your whole heart,
You said, “Baby, trust the Savior,
And He’ll work the rest out.”

You showed me Jesus…
Now I’m who I am because you did.

Bridge

I am the woman I am today
Because you knelt down and prayed my way.
I am walking in your example,
Living out what you believed.

You taught me faith passed down is powerful,
That God is faithful, God is true,
And everything I’ve become, Mama,
Started with watching you.

⸻

Chorus (bigger / emotional)

You showed me Jesus in the waiting,
You showed me Jesus in the fight,
You showed me how to trust Him
With every broken part of life.

You taught me all that matters
Is putting Jesus first,
And every other piece will fall in line,
No matter how it hurts.

You showed me Jesus…
Now I’m walking in His light.

⸻

Outro

Single mother… faithful warrior…
Prayerful heart… my forever hero…
Your love still covers me.

Thank You, Lord, for giving me
A godly woman to lead me through,
I’m knowing Jesus…
Because of you.
