Written for the Mothers of Northwest Baptist Church
Formed by the hands of God you were
And taken from man’s side
The crowning act of God’s creation
And with you did abide
The hope of earth’s redeemer
The promise of a child
In each and every young girls heart
A desire to receive
Grace from her Creator
And not what can be achieved
And grace it was from God’s own heart
The joy of a babies smile
Though labors brought this prize to her
It was worth it all the while
And grace it is and not reward
Your Word has taught so clear
The many women counted righteous
Still shed their childless tears
But for these many God did send
One last child all His own
To wash away the sins and pain
Of wasted years unknown
That sin did take its toll on us
And now did come the cure
From a virgin’s womb -a Son
With blood that was so pure
A gift to her and to us
That all the world may know
The greatness of a mother’s day
When to the cross we go
So we bring to all our moms
A rose from all of us
The greatest gift that God gave man
A mother brought to us.
