Mom's Hand

“Holy Hands (Hey Mom)”

There’s a silence in the house I grew up in

Like a prayer still hanging in the air

Every wall holds a piece of who I was

Every shadow says you were there

I was reckless with a heart half-broken

Running wild through the devil’s land

But you stood like a church in a storm, mom

With forgiveness in your hands

I was lost in the dark, couldn’t find my name

But you called me home through the weight and shame

Hey mom… you were holy ground

Where my sins fell off and my soul slowed down

When I was burning like a house of flame

You were water calling out my name

Hey mom… I was too far gone

But your love kept saying I belong

Now every step I take, I understand

I was saved by your holy hands

There were nights I swore I’d never see morning

Buried deep in the wreck I made

Every promise I broke like thunder

Every truth that I tried to evade

But you never turned your eyes from me

Never spoke like I was beyond repair

You just held onto hope like a lifeline, mom

Like you knew I’d meet you there

I was drowning in all I became

But you breathed me back through the guilt and pain

Hey mom… you were holy ground

Where my sins fell off and my soul slowed down

When I was burning like a house of flame

You were water calling out my name

Hey mom… I was too far gone

But your love kept saying I belong

Now every step I take, I understand

I was saved by your holy hands

If grace has a face, I’ve seen it in yours

In the lines that life left, in the love you swore

And if God ever spoke, I heard it then

In your voice saying “try again”

Hey mom… you were holy ground

When the world gave up, you still held me down

Through the fire, the fall, the worst of me

You were mercy when I couldn’t be

Hey mom… now I finally see

Every piece of your heart in me

And if I stand at all, it’s ‘cause you began

Every good in me… came from your hands

There’s a light in me I couldn’t understand…

Turns out it was yours, mom… all along
