I used to wonder how the angels sing Or what it feels like underneath their wings I searched the endless sky for signs above But then I found them in my mother's love It's a quiet grace, a steady hand A guiding light when I can't stand God's greatest promise sent from above Wrapped in the warmth of a mother's love I see a glimpse of heaven When she smiles at me A love so pure, a holy mystery She taught me how to fold my hands and pray She chased the shadows of the dark away Through every stumble, every tear I cried She was the sanctuary by my side Her gentle voice that echoes through the years Wiping away my doubts and all my fears It's a quiet grace, a steady hand A guiding light when I can't stand God's greatest promise sent from above Wrapped in the warmth of a mother's love I see a glimpse of heaven When she smiles at me A love so pure, a holy mystery And Lord looked down and knew I needed a guide To walk the valleys and the mountains wide So He took a piece of His own tender heart And gave it to her right from the very start It's a quiet grace, a steady hand A guiding light when I can't stand God's greatest promise sent from above Wrapped in the warmth of a mother's love I see a glimpse of heaven When she smiles at me A love so pure, a holy mystery A holy mystery A love so true Mama I see the light of God in you Yeah I see His light in you
