Verse 1
I was lyin’ on the floor, barely holdin’ on,
Heartbeat slippin’ like the night was gettin’ long.
My vision blurred out, breathin’ turned thin,
And the darkness whispered, “Boy, this is the end.”
But through the shadows, through the fear and the pain,
I heard footsteps runnin’ and my mama say my name.
She dropped to her knees with tears in her eyes,
And cried, “Jesus, don’t You let my baby die.”
Chorus
’Cause when Mama called Jesus, Heaven broke through,
Angels filled the room like a holy rescue.
Death tried to take me, but grace said “No,”
And the breath of God filled my lungs once more.
I’m alive today, and I testify this truth:
I’m standin’ here because Mama called Jesus.
Verse 2
Daddy held my hand, tremblin’ in the fight,
A strong man breakin’ in the middle of the night.
They thought they were watchin’ their son fade away,
But Heaven was movin’ in a powerful way.
My mama kept prayin’, “Lord, don’t take him yet,”
And every word she spoke pushed the darkness back.
Then a warmth filled the room like a rising sun,
And I felt my soul return where it once had run.
Chorus
’Cause when Mama called Jesus, Heaven broke through,
Angels filled the room like a holy rescue.
Death tried to take me, but grace said “No,”
And the breath of God filled my lungs once more.
I’m alive today, and I testify this truth:
I’m standin’ here because Mama called Jesus.

Final Chorus (Full Choir)
When Mama called Jesus, Heaven broke through,
Mercy took the wheel and my life was renewed.
I walked through the valley, but I didn’t stay—
My Savior reached down and He made a way.
From the hollers to the heavens, hear me testify this truth:
I’m alive today… because Mama called Jesus.
Tag (Choir Vamp)
Because Mama called Jesus… because Mama called Jesus…
