Verse 1
I remember tiny hands in yours,
Kneeling by my bed, you taught me how to pray.
Whispered every promise in His Word,
You lived your faith out loud in every single way.
Through every storm, you’d still believe,
You pointed me to Calvary.
Chorus
Because you loved Him first, I saw the light,
You showed me grace, you walked in truth, you lived what's right.
Your prayers were like a covering through every high and low,
You led me to the Savior—now I know.
So I thank the Lord above, for all your gentle love,
And I praise His name for giving me
A mom who loved Him first.
Verse 2
You never needed fortune, never chased the fame,
You found your joy in Jesus and in lifting up His name.
I watched you give when it was hard,
And trust His heart when life fell apart.
You planted seeds I didn’t see—
Now they’ve grown into faith in me.
Chorus
Because you loved Him first, I saw the light,
You showed me grace, you walked in truth, you lived what's right.
Your prayers were like a covering through every high and low,
You led me to the Savior—now I know.
So I thank the Lord above, for all your gentle love,
And I praise His name for giving me
A mom who loved Him first.
Bridge
When I lift my voice in worship,
I Thank the Lord Almighty,
That everything Ive become—
I Owe it all to Him.
And as I start this brand new season,
With my beautiful Bride beside me, I will cherish all the moments I have spent with you.
Final Chorus
Because you loved Him first, I found my way,
Your faith became the lighthouse to my wandering days.
Now I’m the one who’s calling out His name in grateful song,
And your love for Christ still carries me along.
So I thank the Lord above, for all your gentle love,
And I’ll raise my hands forevermore—
For a mom who loved Him first.
Outro
Yes, I praise His name for giving me
A mom who loved Him first.
