I've Seen Her Give Her Last Five Dollars,
To A Stranger On The Street,
An' Do Without A Dress She Wanted,
So We'd Have Enough To Eat.
And When The Ladies At The Garden Club,
Looked Down Their Nose At Her,
I Watched Her Turn The Other Cheek,
Without One Bitter Word.

Mama Was A Lot Like Jesus,
The Way She Lived An' Loved:
A Blessing Sent From Heaven Up Above.
She Would Pray For Our Forgiveness,
And Sacrifice For Us:
Mama Was A Lot Like Jesus.

She Could Stretch A Bag Of Groceries,
For Two Weeks To Keep Us Fed.
An' She Could Take An Old Brown Potted Plant,
An' Raised It From The Dead.
An' Her Words Were Like A Healin' Touch,
When We Had A Broken Heart.
And When I Wrestled With The Devil,
She Led Me Through The Dark

'Cause Mama Was A Lot Like Jesus,
The Way She Lived An' Loved:
A Blessin' Sent From Heaven Up Above.
She Would Pray For Our Forgiveness,
And Sacrifice For Us:
Mama Was A Lot Like Jesus.

I've Got My Daddy's Eyes;
I've Got My Daddy's Hair,
But I Hope My Mama's Heart,
Is Inside Me Somewhere.

'Cause Mama Was A Lot Like Jesus,
The Way She Lived An' Loved:
A Blessin' Sent From Heaven Up Above.
She Would Pray For Our Forgiveness,
And Sacrifice For Us:
Mama Was A Lot Like Jesus.
My Mama Was A Lot Like Jesus.
