The Loving Heart

Shawn Smith- August 17, 2006

Have you seen  a loving mother
    how she holds her babe with care?

How she bandages the wounded knee
    and offers up a prayer?

Can you hear her gently singing
    as she rocks him on her lap?

The helpless soul has not a care
    as he takes a quiet nap

Have you heard about a wondrous God
    more loving than a mom?

Who provides us all our sustenance
    from dawn to setting sun

And if I ever wonder
    where God's love is on this earth

I'm reminded of the loving heart
    of the one who gave me birth
