Lyrics
Verse 1
Mama, did Jesus find you?
Did Jesus find you
Before you knew that you were gone?
Was He waiting in the silence
Where your final breath became a song?
Did He call you by the name
I heard my whole life when I prayed?
Did He say, "Your child will be all right,"
While I was begging you to stay?
Chorus
Momma...
Momma...
You were the one who needed healing
But I'm the one who broke in two
Heaven took away your suffering
But it took my whole world too
You were always there to hold me
Now there's nothing I can hold
You finally found your home with Jesus
And I've never felt so far from home
Verse 2
I still reach to call your number
When I don't know what to do
And every time something good happens
My first thought is telling you
Then the silence brings me back
To what my heart still can't believe
You were ready to meet Jesus
But I was not ready for you to leave
Chorus
Momma...
Did He show you every prayer
You thought had disappeared?
Did He show you every moment
He was standing with you here?
Did He tell you that you mattered?
Did He tell you, "You did well"?
Did He show you all the lives you touched
But never lived to tell?
Bridge
You were the one who needed saving
But I'm the one still calling out
You are standing there with Jesus
While I'm standing here with doubt
I know God has made you whole now
I know faith says you are free
But Heaven feels like it has everything
Because Heaven has you and not me
Outro
Momma...
Momma...
Jesus, You have my mother
So hold the hands that once held mine
Tell her I am still believing
Even when I'm not all right
Tell her I still hear her singing
When the church is soft and low
Tell her I am trying to follow
Every truth she used to know
And when You come to find me
When my final day is through
Let Your face be the first I see...
And let hers be the second too
Momma...
Did Jesus find you?
I hope He said,
"My daughter, I've been waiting here for you."
